Directions

  1. 1Microwave milk and butter in a medium bowl for 30 seconds, then let it cool until the temperature is around 110 degrees F.
  2. 2Add sugar and yeast to the warm milk and stir to combine.
  3. 3Add flour and salt to the mixture and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms, adding 1-2 extra tablespoons of flour if needed.
  4. 4Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it forms a smooth ball and can be stretched without breaking.
  5. 5Grease the original bowl with oil or cooking spray, add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size and pillowy.
  6. 6Generously grease a large ramekin with butter, add the partially chopped pecans to the bottom in an even layer, mix brown sugar and heavy cream for the topping, and pour it over the pecans.
  7. 7Transfer the dough to a clean surface and roll it into a 15-inch long rope, then flatten it into a strip approximately 2 inches wide.
  8. 8Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling, spread softened butter over the dough strip, and press the sugar mixture onto it.
  9. 9Tightly roll up the dough strip and transfer it to the ramekin on top of the pecan mixture.
  10. 10Cover the ramekin with plastic wrap and let it rise again in a warm spot for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size or puffs up.
  11. 11Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, then bake the cinnamon roll for about 24-30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190-200 degrees F, loosely covering with foil if it browns too quickly.
  12. 12Cool the baked sticky bun for 2-3 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate while still warm.
  13. 13The delicious single-serve pecan sticky bun is ready to be enjoyed.
