These Do-Ahead Sticky Buns are the ultimate comfort food, combining a tender yeast dough with a rich, gooey butterscotch glaze. The secret lies in the refrigeration step, which allows the flavors to meld and makes morning baking effortless. The result is a soft, fluffy roll topped with a crispy, caramelized crust that shatters slightly before giving way to sweet, sticky goodness. Perfect for holiday brunches, lazy Sunday mornings, or as a special treat for guests, these buns offer a homemade warmth that store-bought versions simply can’t match. The butterscotch pudding mix adds a unique depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the brown sugar base.

Description

These Do-Ahead Sticky Buns are the ultimate comfort food, combining a tender yeast dough with a rich, gooey butterscotch glaze. The secret lies in the refrigeration step, which allows the flavors to meld and makes morning baking effortless. The result is a soft, fluffy roll topped with a crispy, caramelized crust that shatters slightly before giving way to sweet, sticky goodness. Perfect for holiday brunches, lazy Sunday mornings, or as a special treat for guests, these buns offer a homemade warmth that store-bought versions simply can't match. The butterscotch pudding mix adds a unique depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the brown sugar base.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, dry butterscotch pudding mix, melted margarine or butter, milk, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm water (105&# 194;°F to 115ðF). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Stir the Bisquick baking mix into the yeast mixture until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with Bisquick. Knead gently about 20 times until smooth. Add up to 1/4 cup more Bisquick if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Roll the dough into a 15x9 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Spread three-quarters of the reserved butterscotch mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  7. Roll the dough up tightly starting from the long 15-inch side. Pinch the seam to seal.
  8. Cut the log into 9 equal slices.
  9. Pour the remaining butterscotch mixture into the bottom of a 9x9x2 inch square baking pan.
  10. Place the rolls cut-side down in the pan, spacing them slightly apart.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  12. When ready to bake, remove the cover. Let the rolls rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  14. Bake the rolls until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  15. Immediately invert the pan onto a heat-proof serving plate. Let the pan sit on top for one minute so the glaze drips over the rolls, then remove.
  16. Serve warm. Note: No altitude adjustments are necessary for elevations between 3,500 and 6,500 feet.
