Breakfast Sticky Bun Ring...

FAIL!

 So, I found this awesome recipe on Pinterest. A friend added the photo on FB and I searched it and found the original recipe here.

It looked great! I wanted to try it yesterday morning but I couldn't find my Bunt pan...I think I threw it away when I realized the non-stick coating was coming off...Or I will find it in some strange place one day, like my bedroom closet.

I got have a tube pan. I decided to use it.

I used 2 can of biscuits, well, 10 biscuits, actually.

I bought Honey Butter flavor, couldn't hurt to add more sweetness, right?

I followed the directions, mixed the butter and syrup:

Melted them together and stirred to get a yummy looking "sauce". Combined the nuts and cinnamon and brown sugar, I used dark brown because that is what I had.
Then I layered: Sauce, Brown Sugar mixture and the biscuits!

It looked great!  I added the second layer:

Oh, so yummy! Into the preheated oven they went...
I baked them for 25 minutes, 5 minutes longer than the recipe called for...
Took them out of the oven. Called the kids in to eat this amazing breakfast I had prepared. I flipped them over onto a serving plate...They fell right out (Thank you cooking spray)...They were RAW on the bottom!  (I forgot to take a photo!)
What to do?!?!?! We needed to leave in 20 minutes for school and VBS...I slid them into a 9x13 baking dish and put them back in the oven.
Since I had 6 extra biscuits, I tossed them on a cookie sheet and baked them on the same rack as the ring. They were done so the kids ate those with the fruit I had cut up.

The sticky buns baked for 15 more minutes and looked nicely crispy when I removed them from the oven the second time.

Then we left for school and VBS.

When I got home they had cooled quite a bit but I tried one, so did Dale, that is why there is not a "full ring" in this photo.

They were VERY sweet. Tasted too much like pancake syrup and the buns didn't "pull-a-part".  The part of the buns that were overlapped had no saucy goodness on them!
I don't think I will make it again. I am a HUGE fan of monkey bread. I will make that instead.

I guess if you have time to make it, and let it bake for 45 minutes, than this may be the recipe for you. I would also swap out the pancake syrup for regular corn syrup.

Oh, the kids will get to eat them tomorrow since they were not ready today!
