Sticky Buns

Sticky buns are a deliciously decadent way to start the day. If you have one of these you'll feel so good that the world will suddenly look as if it has a magical sheen over it. Life will be amazing and don't be surprised if everything starts going your way. It's not a new day, but a new adventure and this will get you there.

Or at least it'll taste really good and who cares about the rest, right?

Let's go.

Step 1 Get the yeast going

This recipe is a slightly modified version of this sticky bun recipe.

• 1/4 cup warm water (105F to 115F)
• 4 teaspoons dry yeast
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup warm milk
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 4 1/4 cups (or more) all purpose flour

Glaze

• 1 1/4 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

To begin with, mix 1/4 cup of the warm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Let it sit until it's foamy, about 8 minutes.

Oh yum so good.  The batch was so huge i am going to have to take them in to work on Monday.  Just like the ones Bakers Delight sell for $4, but so many more and so much tastier.

I am going to be posting my way on how to make Cinnamon Rolls from BisQuick (I love baking with bisquick)

[scafool]

Yes, my mother used to make these (but she just called them cinnamon rolls) I will be cooking them tomorrow and thinking about my happy childhood and my misspent youth

I agree, these are definitely "cinnamon rolls", because "sticky buns" are very large.

Some raisins & sultanas and topped with a bit of icing... you have yourself a Belgian bun.

The process can be greatly simplified if you have a bread machine...

Where's the fun in that? Besides, I'd rather learn a new skill and use it than have another device in the kitchen.
