It took thirty-two hours and five sticks of butter (yes, you read that right), but these beautiful Pecan Sticky Buns are finally ready to devour.
I’ve made these before, via Dorie’s ‘Baking’, albeit with slight differences. Both recipes are time-consuming and incredibly loaded with calories, but the end result is gorgeous and something akin to perfection. Flaky layers of brioche enfold a sugary, cinnamon filling studded with chopped pecans. Drizzled on top is a caramelized brown sugar syrup, dotted with pecan halves. Truly special, these sticky buns make for a perfect breakfast when paired with a steaming cup of coffee, or even as a dessert table addition. They’re also appreciated when gifted to a certain sweet next-door neighbor.

Beautiful photos and delicious looking Pecan Sticky Buns. I am glad that you enjoyed them because the recipe is fabulous and we liked them a lot too.
I missed these! I thought we had another week. But I’m sure I need to make these. Your roll look delicious.
These look great. I am making them in a few days!
They look great and what a work wasn’t it?
I was out of town, so haven’t made these yet, but darn, I might have to skip the heart attack for a while! I would love these too much!
wow those look great! I don’t know if I could committ to 32 hours though!
Your sticky buns and photos are lovely! I really loved these, too!
I took three days to make mine…I took advantage of the refrigeration time.
Yours turned out beautifully! We made a full recipe, so did a LOT of sharing. I think my nieces were a little shocked at how long these took to make, though they loved them in the end.
Thanks for your comment over on our blog. I have to say I’m very grateful for self-cleaning ovens!
A lot of work but soooo good!
Good thing you stuck with it! Your rolls look great!
Such a thing to give to a neighbor!
Glad you liked these. They were too much work, without the big payoff, for me.
