  1. Beautiful!! I made a few changes: omitted the raisins and used a mixture of pecan and walnut pieces. The recipe is quite time consuming but easy to follow as the instructions are so straightforward. They made the house smell wonderful and received gasps of delight from my family! Thank you, will definitely make again.
     
  2. These were very yummy!! They were easy to make and took a little extra time, but they are definitely worth the extra effort. My family devoured them (my son ate 6 of them for breakfast)!! Thank you for sharing this recipe...it is a keeper.
     
  3. When I made these everyone that tried them ranted and raved and said I was "the greatest cook!" It was my first ever attempt at sticky buns and they turned out fantastic
     
  4. What a difference not letting them rise in the syrup made, I popped them in the oven right after setting them in the pan. I ran out of brown sugar for the filling so I used some grandulated white sugar, clove honey, and cinnamon which was good. My father loved the taste and brought the left overs to work (before he wouldn't try them because they were 'mushy'). Sorry for letting the texture getting the best of me before, the taste is just right.
