Killer Pecan Sticky Buns

Makes 12 buns.





List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  
• 3/4 cup raisins
  
• 1/2 cup bourbon
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  
• 1/2 cup honey
  
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  
• 1/2 recipe Granny Foster's Refrigerator Roll Dough (see separate recipe), prepared through step 6
  






Instructions



1. Butter a 9 inch round glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter, set aside.
   
2. In a small bowl, combine raisins and bourbon, and let soak until plumped, about 20 minutes.
   
3. In a second small bowl, combine cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar and remaining 6 tablespoons butter; set aside.
   
4. In a third small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, honey and pecans. Spread mixture evenly in prepared baking dish, set aside.
   
5. Roll dough into a 12x6 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Drain raisins, and sprinkle over brown sugar mixture. Beginning with the long side of the dough, roll into a log. Place the log, seam side down, on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the log crosswise into 1 inch thick slices. Transfer slices, cut side down, to prepared baking dish (the slices should fit snugly). Set aside in a warm place, and allow to rise until slightly puffy, 20-30 minutes.
   
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baking dish on a baking sheet with sides and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the buns are golden brown, 45-50 mintues.
   
7. Let cool for 5 minutes. While still warm, place a plate over baking dish. Invert baking dish to unmold. serve warm or at room temperature.
