National Sticky Bun Day

Sticky buns, also known as cinnamon rolls or caramel rolls, are a type of sweet pastry that is popular in many parts of the world, particularly in North America and Northern Europe. Sticky buns are made by rolling out a sweetened dough and spreading it with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and butter. The dough is then rolled into a log and sliced into individual buns, which are placed in a baking dish and topped with a glaze made from caramel, brown sugar, and butter. The buns are baked in the oven until they are golden brown and the glaze has caramelized and turned sticky. They are usually served warm and gooey, with the caramel glaze dripping down the sides of the buns. There are many variations of sticky buns, with different recipes calling for variations in the dough or the glaze. Some recipes may include nuts, raisins, or other ingredients in the filling or the glaze. Sticky buns are often enjoyed as a breakfast pastry or a sweet treat with coffee or tea. They are also popular as a holiday or special occasion dessert.
