Sticky Buns Recipe
This is a recipe from my sister-in-law. It's my favorite breakfast dish EVER. But you can't have it very often because it's so rich. It's very cheap, though, I usually only have to buy cook and serve vanilla pudding and frozen Rhodes dinner rolls and pecans. If you buy the big size box of the pudding and make sure to only use half your pecan bits you'll definitely have enough to make the dish a second time. So all in all, about $10 for two breakfast dishes.
I forgot to take a picture when I made it last weekend, but I'll take a picture next time (I have enough left for a second dish, after all). The picture at the bottom is from Google. It's actually a pretty close match.
Sticky Buns
NOTE: You have to prepare them in the pan the night before and leave them in a completely cool oven all night to rise. You can prep them as late as you want (I did it at 1 am last weekend and they were great by 10 am).
Serves: 6 (or more if you all eat less, but I never want to)
Prep time: 5 minutes (and overnight!)
Cook time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 bag frozen Rhode's Dinner Rolls
Nuts (pecans)- chopped (this is optional! My other sister-in-law is allergic to nuts so when I'm with her we omit the pecans)
Cook & Serve Vanilla Pudding (small box for one dish, big box if you want two dishes- and it's NOT instant pudding)
1 cup brown sugar
Cinnamon
1 stick of butter melted
What you'll need:
Bundt pan
Pam spray
Paper towel
Oven needs to be completely cool
Prepare this the night before!! Just before you go to bed.
Night before:
-Spray bundt pan.
-Toss half your nuts on the bottom of the pan (as many as you want, really)
-Put a small layer of Rhode's dinner rolls around the bottom of the pan. Seriously, one layer will do it. Throw a few into the gaps on top of that layer if you want. Just don't go overboard. Two full layers is too much.
-Sprinkle the Cook & Serve Vanilla pudding over the top of the rolls. If using a big box, sprinkle about half. (eyeball it or measure it out, it's up to you)
-Sprinkle 1 cup brown sugar over the top of that
-Sprinkle as much cinnamon as you want over the top (I use a lot, yum)
-Melt a stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl, then pour that over the top of everything. Try to spread it evenly, but don't worry about it too much. It'll turn out great.
-Cover with a damp paper towel and place in the COOL oven overnight. This lets the dinner rolls rise.
In the morning:
-Take the paper towel off.
-Check your sticky buns. Most likely you put too many rolls in and they've expanded way over the top of the bundt pan. No big deal! Just peel off and toss the ones that are on the very top until it's below the top of the pan again.
-When you're ready to make breakfast, just turn on the oven (with the pan IN IT) to 350 and set your timer for 30 minutes.
-Make sure you check the rolls when they're done. They may be a little doughy, so just make sure they aren't too doughy for your taste. You might need to let them go a little longer.
-When you've decided they're done, get a big plate (one that's bigger around than the top of the bundt pan). -Put the plate upside down on top of the bundt pan, so that you can carefully flip the sticky buns out of the pan onto the plate. There will be a lot of sticky sauce that comes out with it, so be careful not to let the bundt pan slip over the edge of the plate (I did that this weekend, not a terrible clean up but you loose some of that delicious sauce!)
-To serve, people can either pull apart the rolls or you can cut it up into slices. Use a spatula
