Sugarhouse Maple Sticky Buns - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
12 tablespoons butter, divided
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Mix together walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Bring maple syrup and 4 Tablespoons butter to boil in a small saucepan. Pour into an ungreased 10\" cast iron or heavy skillet or pan. Top with 1/3 of walnut mixture.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add 7 Tablespoons butter and cut together until mixture resembles small peas. Add milk slowly while stirring gently, just until mixture comes together.
Melt remaining 1 Tablespoon butter.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Roll into a 9x12\" rectangle. Brush with melted butter.
Cover dough with remaining walnut mixture, patting gently. Roll up dough to form a 12\" log, pinching seam to seal. Cut into 12 (1 inch) slices and place into pan. Bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a large plate (do this quickly, but carefully - the syrup is very hot!). Scrape any syrup from the pan and spread over buns. Best served warm or hot.
