- Add butter, eggs and salt and mix well.
- Add the yeast mixture and blend.
- Gradually add flour and knead until smooth, adding more flour as needed to control stickiness.
- Once the dough is no longer sticky and is soft and silky feeling, it is ready.
- Place in a large greased bowl.

- On a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 17 x 10 inch rectangle.
- Spread 1/2 cup of softened butter over surface.
- In small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle all over the surface of the dough, over the butter.
- Starting from one long end, roll up dough very tightly, jelly-roll style.
- With a very sharp knife, cut a notch every 2 inches, and cut into 10 rolls.
- Make Topping: In a saucepan or in a microwave oven combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.
- Heat and stir until blended and sugar has nearly melted.
- Pour topping into the bottom of a 15 x 10 inch baking pan and sprinkle nut meats over.
- Place cinnamon buns on top of the caramel sauce.
- Press rolls down with your hands just a little.
- Allow to rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 350F and bake Cinnamon Buns for 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown.
- Don't over bake.
- Remove pan from oven, cover with foil and invert onto cooling racks.
- Cool 1 minute, and remove pan.
- Let them cool at least a further 15-20 minutes before eating.
