Directions

  1. Lightly grease 2 (8-inch) round or square cake pans or skillets. Spoon Sticky Bun Syrup into pans.
  2. Prepare hot roll dough as directed on back of package; let dough stand 5 minutes.
  3. Roll dough into an 18 × 10-inch rectangle. Spread with melted butter. Stir together brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter.
  4. Roll dough up tightly, starting at 1 long end; cut into 16 slices using a serrated knife. Place 1 slice in center of each prepared pan. Place 7 slices around center roll in each pan.
  5. Cover pans loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in bulk.
  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover rolls, and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and done. Cool in pans on a wire rack 5 minutes. Prepare Maple Glaze, and brush over rolls. Top with toasted pecans.
  7. Sticky: Whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, maple syrup and egg white until smooth.
