pecan sticky buns

We recently went to visit two friends who just welcomed a baby this year; they were preparing brunch for us and I decided to bring a brunch-like dessert: pecan sticky buns.

I adapted it from Claire Saffitz’s recipe for walnut sticky buns in Dessert Person and it just came together so fantastically! The night before, when I was mixing the dough, I forgot to add the eggs until the very end! I put them in the mixed and started mixing and for a few minutes, I thought I was going to have to throw it all out and start over again. But with a little persistence, it finally came together.

The assembly is very easy and came together like a dream. The buns are soft and tender, which I’ve found to be rare in homemade cinnamon roll recipes, so I certainly recommend this one!
