Recipe View Prepare the Dough: Mix in the melted butter, lightly beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in the flour and Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt until the dough comes together. You may need a little more flour to achieve the right consistency. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. (Estimated time: 15-20 minutes)

Recipe View Make the Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup butter and the dark brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely into the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt. Mix well, but do not bring to a boil. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Divide the caramel sauce equally between the prepared cake pans. Sprinkle an equal amount of chopped pecans evenly over the caramel sauce in each pan. (Estimated time: 10-15 minutes)

Recipe View Invert and Serve: Immediately (and carefully, as the sauce will be very hot!) invert the cake pans onto a serving plate. Let the buns sit for a minute or two to allow the caramel to fully release. Serve warm and enjoy!

For an even richer flavor, use browned butter in the caramel sauce.
Toast the pecans before adding them to the caramel for a deeper, nuttier taste.
If you don't have two 9-inch cake pans, you can bake all the buns in a single 9x13 inch pan, but the baking time may need to be adjusted.
These sticky buns are best served warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
