Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.

  2. Step 2

    In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp corn syrup. Cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the caramel sauce into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 3/4 cup pecans evenly over the sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Separate the 1 can of biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Toss the pieces with 1 tsp cinnamon.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange the dough pieces over the pecans in the pan, spacing them slightly apart.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the buns are golden brown and puffed. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Serve warm, spooning any extra caramel from the pan over the top.
