Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Rolls feature a tender buttermilk dough spiraled with cinnamon sugar and finished with a glossy caramel-pecan topping. Each bite is soft, buttery, and nutty with just the right sweetness and a hint of warm spice. Serve slightly warm for a cozy brunch, holiday breakfast, or an afternoon treat with coffee.

Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
  1. 1

    Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3 cups flour. (The dough should stay soft and slightly sticky). Knead for 5 minutes, or about 200 turns, on a lightly floured board. Cover the dough and let it rest for half an hour.

  2. 2

    Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 12x7-inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon soft butter; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Roll up each half starting from the wide side. Pinch the seams to seal well. Cut each roll into 12 slices.

  3. 3

    Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in each pan. Arrange 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a little space between them. Let rise until doubled.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Invert the pans onto serving plates right away.
