Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz.) pkg. Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 stick (1/4 lb.) butter or margarine
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 c. orange marmalade
  • 1/4 c. finely chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Mix cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
  2. Put marmalade and nuts in the bottom of a well-buttered Bundt pan.
  3. Melt butter.
  4. Dip rolls in melted butter and then dip into sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Place in Bundt pan around the sides.
  6. Pour excess butter and sugar on top.
  7. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
  8. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Tips & Substitutions

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you prefer a different citrus note, lemon marmalade can be a delightful substitution for orange. To save time, use pre-made caramel sauce instead of melting butter and mixing with sugar; just pour it over the rolls before baking. This recipe can also be adapted to fit vegetarian recipes by using plant-based margarine.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sticky buns warm for the best texture and flavor. They make a perfect brunch item alongside a fresh fruit salad or a serving of Egg Cheese for a savory balance. Drizzle with additional orange marmalade or serve with a side of cream cheese frosting for a decadent touch. They pair beautifully with Quick Clam Chowder for a unique meal combination.

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, microwave individual buns for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of biscuits for this recipe?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of refrigerated biscuits, such as flaky or flaky layers, to achieve varying textures. Keep in mind that baking times may vary slightly, so monitor them closely to avoid overbaking.

What can I substitute for the nuts?

If you have nut allergies or prefer a nut-free option, you can omit the nuts altogether or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Dried fruits like raisins or chopped dried apricots can also add a chewy texture and sweetness.

Can I make these sticky buns ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the sticky buns in advance by assembling them in the Bundt pan and covering them tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight and bake them fresh in the morning. Just allow a few extra minutes of baking time if they are cold from the fridge.
