Finger licking and sticky sweat from the kitchens of  faydyn

******************************

these are amazing, this was my first time doing this recipe and I must say I was NOT disappointed.

yields 18

you will need:

for the dough:
2/3 cups of warm milk
1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 1/4 cups flour (plus more for rolling out)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter cut up into small chunks
2 eggs

for the topping/filling:
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar firmly packed
1/2 cup of water
3/4 cup of chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cups raisins (optional I added them)

method:

lightly grease 18 muffin tins
combine milk yeast and sugar and let stand 10 minutes to dissolve

combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs

make a well in the center and add eggs and yeast mixture
mix with a wooden spoon incorporating more flour each turn when the dough gets too stiff mix by hand. (you may have to add more flour

knead until smooth and elastic

return to bowl and let rise 2 hours

meanwhile in a large saucepan combine brown sugar water and butter to a boil cook 10 minutes (until thick and syrupy), spoon a tablespoon of syrup into each of the muffin tins, sprinkle some walnuts in each pan reserving the majority for the filling

punch down the dough and transfer to a well flowered work surface. Roll out to an 18 x 12 inch rectangle

for the filling combine the raisins remaining chopped nuts cinnamon and sugar sprinkle over the dough in an even layer

roll up into a cylinder (like a cinnamon roll) and slice into 1 inch rounds placing the buns into the prepared pan cut side up cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes

preheat the oven to 350 and place a sheet pan lined with tin foil under the pans to catch any syrup that may boil out

bake 25 minutes

remove from the oven and let cool 2 minutes then carefully invert pans onto a sheet of wax paper and remove from pan

(WARNING I didn't wait, when I inverted the pan a flood of boiling hot syrup poured everywhere it was a really unpleasant mess to clean up)

transfer to a rack to cool

awesome served warm serve sticky side up

enjoy

and happy baking
