Easy Pecan Sticky Buns

Over the next two weeks, I will be sharing with you some recipes that are great fo brunch. Let's start off with a little sweetness.

3/4 cup butter, softened and divided

1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar, divided

1 tablespoon dark corn syrup

3/4 cup chopped pecans

17.3 ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon

1 teaspoon orange zest

1/2 cup chopped golden raisins

Preheat oven to 400℉.

In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and corn syrup. Spoon mixture into a 12-cup muffin pan (about 1 tablespoon per cup). Divide pecans among muffin cups.Unfold puff pastry and summit with a rolling pin.

In another small bowl, stir together cinnamon, cardamon, orange zest, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup butter. Spread mixture onto puff pastry sheets; sprinkle with raisins. Roll pastry sheets into logs; pinch seams to seal. Cut each log into 6 pieces (about 3/4-inch thick). Place in muffin cups.

Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for no longer than 5 minutes. Turn out buns onto parchment paper.
