  • 2/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. butter
  • chopped nuts (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1 c. warm milk
  • 1 pkg. yeast
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1/3 c. melted butter
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 5 c. flour

Method

  • Cook brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter and syrup until butter is melted.
  • Place in the bottom of a buttered 9 x 12-inch baking dish. Sprinkle bottom with chopped nuts, if desired.
  • Mix warm milk and yeast and let set until yeast begins to bubble.
  • Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs and flour and mix until not sticky.
  • Place in an oiled bowl (covered) to rise until double in size.
  • Smash down and roll out half of the dough.
  • Brush with about 2 to 3 tablespoons butter on each half.
  • Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixture.
  • Roll up and slice in 1 to 2-inch pieces.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Place in pan on top of brown sugar mixture.
  • Allow to rise again, then bake in 350° oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Run a knife along the sides of the pan and dump out of the pan so the sticky topping on the bottom is on the top.
