- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Filling
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 TBS ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread out 1/2 cup chopped pecans in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Set aside.
- Place Hawaiian Rolls on a cutting board. Using Kitchen shears cut an X shape in the center of each top of roll.NOTE: only need to go half way down with the X shape. You can also use a small sharp knife to make the X also.
- Using a long bread knife cut through the attached rolls lengthwise keeping the tops together and the bottoms together. Lay the top rolls next to the bottom rolls and set aside.
- In a small bowl mix together the filling ingredients of 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 TBS ground cinnamon. Using a pastry brush spread the mixture evenly over the bottom rolls. (The rolls are still attached as 12). Let the mixture saturate into the rolls.
- Place the tops of the rolls on top of the mixture on the bottom rolls to form the roll.
- In a medium sauce pan melt 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter over medium heat. Add in 3/4 cup brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix together until combined. This step takes about 3 minutes to melt butter into the brown sugar and bubble up.
- Pour this mixture over the pecans in the 9 x 13 baking dish and spread evenly.
- Place the buns top side down on top of the mixture in baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream on top of the bottoms and spread evenly.
- Lightly cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes.
- Place a large serving platter upside down on baking dish and using kitchen towels invert the baking dish fast onto serving platter. Spoon excess sauce from baking dish onto buns. Cut buns into the 12 serving sizes and enjoy.
