- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
- Prepare the dough by combining warm milk and yeast in a bowl. Let sit until frothy. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and butter, then incorporate the milk mixture to form a soft dough.
- Knead on a floured surface for about eight minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let rise for one hour.
- Make the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Roll tightly into a log and cut into pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
- For the topping, melt butter with brown sugar and heavy cream until combined; stir in chopped pecans and pour over the buns.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
– Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor.
– For added depth of flavor, toast pecans lightly before adding them to the topping.
