Quick Sticky Cinnamon Biscuits

These quick sticky cinnamon biscuits are topped with cinnamon sugar, then finished with sticky caramel and pecans. Make them for a brunch or weekend breakfast and watch them disappear!

I adapted this cinnamon biscuits recipe from Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey, which might just be one of the most decadent cookbooks I’ve ever read. These biscuits were the first recipe I made from the book, but really, calling them biscuits just seems insulting. They are so much more than that!

Prepare. Coat a pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 425ºF.
Start the pecan sauce. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan set over low heat. Once the butter has melted, increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until thickened, then stir in the pecans. Pour the sauce into the pan.
Start the biscuit dough. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl, then cut in the butter. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.

Finish the dough. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Mix with a fork to form a soft dough, adding more buttermilk if it’s too dry.
Form biscuits. Knead the dough a few times, then pat it into a rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 biscuits.
Make the cinnamon sugar. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush the the biscuits with half of the butter and sprinkle them with half of the cinnamon sugar.
