What are Sticky Buns?
Sticky buns are a type of dessert or breakfast roll that contains leavened bread, with sticky ingredients such as butter mixed with sugar and cinnamon. It can also be made with nuts or raisins. Once baked, the buns are then inverted so that the ingredients in the pan lining become a topping.
Sticky buns have been around since the Middle Ages. They have a Germanic origin, where they were first called Schnecken. The dish was first introduced to the United States by the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 18th century. Today, it still remains a popular dish across the country.
