There's something magical about pralines that brings back memories of Southern charm and sweet indulgence. For me, that nostalgia stems from River Street Sweets Cany Store in Savannah, Georgia, where I first discovered the melt-in-your-mouth allure of pralines. This recipe for Pecan Praline Sticky Buns is inspired by that unforgettable flavor, marrying the gooey warmth of sticky buns with the rich, nutty crunch of praline candy.
Whether it’s for a special brunch, a holiday gathering, or simply a cozy Sunday treat, these sticky buns combine soft, pillowy dough with a sweet praline glaze that transforms them into an irresistible dessert (or breakfast, if you’re feeling indulgent which we usually do!). Here’s everything you need to know to bring a taste of Savannah right into your kitchen.
Tips for the Perfect Pecan Praline Sticky Buns
Praline Candy in Advance: You can make the praline candy up to three days ahead and store it in an airtight container, so it’s ready to sprinkle when needed.
Let it Rise Properly: Be patient with the rising time. If the room is cool, let the dough rise in a warm spot, like inside an oven with just the light on.
Keep an Eye on Temperature: Cooking the candy mixture to 235-240°F is key to getting the right praline texture. Use a thermometer if you have one!
Serving Suggestions: These buns are perfect on their own, but a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream can take them to the next level for dessert!
Custom Spice Blend: For an extra hint of warmth, try adding a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough for an autumn-inspired flavor twist.
