Midge Logan'S Sticky Buns
Sweet and sticky pecan buns with rich butterscotch flavor, perfect for breakfast or dessert, appealing to those who enjoy indulgent baked treats with a caramelized topping.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the frozen bread dough into 12 pieces.
- Place the dough pieces in a bundt pan sprayed with Pam.
- Spread the remaining ingredients—pecans, butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, and melted margarine—over the dough in the given order.
- Let the assembled buns stand overnight on the counter to raise.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Turn the pan upside-down onto a serving plate immediately after baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the frozen bread dough to thaw completely before cutting it into pieces. If you want a nut-free option, you can substitute the pecans with sunflower seeds or omit them entirely. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the brown sugar mixture. This recipe is similar to American recipes that use pudding for added moisture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky buns are best served warm and can be enjoyed as a delightful breakfast or brunch treat. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy experience. They also complement fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal. For an extra touch, drizzle a simple glaze over the top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh bread dough instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh bread dough if you prefer. Just ensure that the dough has enough time to rise before assembling the sticky buns. Follow the same cutting and layering instructions, but keep an eye on the rising time, as fresh dough may need less time than frozen.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute with unsalted butter or coconut oil. Both will provide a rich flavor to the sticky buns. Melt the butter or oil before mixing it with the other ingredients to ensure even distribution.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sticky buns the night before. After assembling them in the bundt pan, cover and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, allow them to rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This way, you can enjoy freshly baked buns with minimal morning effort.
