Equipment
- Oven
- 9-inch round cake pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 tube crescent rolls 8-count tube
Topping
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 teaspoons water
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a small saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl), combine the brown sugar, butter, and water. Heat until the butter melts and the mixture becomes syrupy, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the caramel sauce.
- Open the crescent roll tube and roll the dough out flat. If using pre-cut triangles, press the seams together to make one sheet.
- Starting from one long side, roll up the dough jelly-roll style into a log.
- Cut into 8 even slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side up, on top of the pecan mixture in the pan.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate so the sticky pecan topping is on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, nutty treat!
Notes
For the best buns, use fresh pecans and real butter. You can substitute walnuts or almonds if needed.
