Pecan Sticky Buns


Oh ya. You know you want it. I know I want it. Again.
The first thing I say to people about this is "hey GUESS HOW MUCH BUTTER." I often like to start off conversations like this; "Guess how long it took me to get here" or "guess how much money I spent on this." Sometimes I think I was meant to be a game show host.

But come on. GUESS HOW MUCH BUTTER! so much. so much butter.


We had a brunch at my place and this was my contribution. These sparkly wonderful pecan sticky buns. And I'm saying, I haven't been this proud of a creation before. I made a good brioche! Last time I tried to make brioche the thing didn't rise, and I also used a weird pan that had holes in it to bake the rolls, so there was butter dripping all over the damn place. 

But these rolls, they rose. Many times. And the butter caramelized and made a sugary topping. Granted I almost broke my cuisineart because I decided to use it to pound my brioche into submission, and then it started SMOKING, but I got it right!!

Diz-amn.
