Once your Pecan and cinnamon buns are ready, let them cool slightly before serving. The combination of soft, fluffy dough with the crunch of pecans and the sweet, sticky topping is absolutely irresistible. These buns are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Enjoy your homemade buns with a cup of coffee or tea, and savor every bite of this delightful treat.
Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
The buns are done when they are golden brown on the top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. An internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) is also a good indicator.
Yes, you can substitute pecans with other nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts, or you can omit nuts entirely for a nut-free option.
Store leftover buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them, wrapped tightly, for up to 3 months.
You can use a greased standard 9x13 inch baking pan or a muffin tin, which would yield about 12 individual buns.
- Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If in doubt, you can proof it by mixing it with a bit of warm milk and a pinch of sugar and waiting for it to foam up before adding it to the recipe.
- To enhance the flavor, toast the pecans lightly in a dry pan before using them in the recipe.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment. If your kitchen is cold, you can place the dough in the oven with just the oven light on to provide a bit of warmth.
- When rolling out the dough, try to make it as even as possible to ensure uniform buns.
- Be generous with the filling to ensure every bite is bursting with flavor.
- For a glossy finish, brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg before baking.
- Drizzle the powdered sugar icing while the buns are still warm for a lovely, melt-in-the-mouth effect.
