Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or align it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 3
Spread the sugar-butter mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, then sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Set aside.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, unroll both cans of crescent roll dough. Pinch the seams together to form two large rectangles.
Step 5
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter over the dough rectangles evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle granulated sugar over the buttered dough, then roll each rectangle tightly from the long edge to form logs.
Step 7
Cut each log into 8 equal slices, so you’ll have 16 rolls in total. Arrange the slices over the pecan-sugar mixture in the baking dish, with the spiral side facing upward.
Step 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Step 9
Allow the buns to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert the dish onto a serving plate to release the sticky topping. Serve warm and enjoy!
