Yaya’s Tips for Success
These Sticky Buns are rich, gooey, and absolutely irresistible, thanks to a buttery brown sugar glaze and a hint of butterscotch flavor. Using frozen roll dough makes them easy to prepare, while an overnight rise gives them the perfect texture—soft and pillowy with a caramelized pecan topping.
To make sure your Sticky Buns turn out perfect every time, follow these tips:
- Use a greased pan – This keeps the sticky caramel sauce from sticking too much.
- Let the rolls rise overnight – This gives them time to absorb all the sweet, buttery goodness.
- Don’t use instant pudding – The cook-and-serve butterscotch pudding creates the best texture.
- Bake until golden brown – The tops should be deep golden for the best caramelization.
- Flip the pan while warm – Let the buns sit for about 5 minutes after baking, then turn them onto a plate so the gooey topping covers the buns.

Want to make these even more special? Try these variations:

- Go chocolatey – Toss in mini chocolate chips for a rich, melty treat.
