sticky bun
Caramelized breakfast roll
A sticky bun is a sweet pastry made from rolled dough coated with butter, brown sugar, and often cinnamon, baked so the sugar caramelizes into a gooey topping.
Pecans or walnuts are common additions.
The buns are inverted after baking so the sticky glaze covers the top: We grabbed sticky buns and coffee on our way to work.
