Sticky Bun Ring

In 7th grade Home Ec., there's two recipes that we learned to make.  One was a coffee cake.  One was a "tea ring", made out of refrigerated biscuits, brown sugar, butter, and peanuts.

This is kind of a step up from that.  That ^ was actually quite delicious in a "Wow, I really shouldn't be eating anything 7th graders cook" kinda way. 

I labeled this Sticky Bun Ring as dessert.  It's also labeled as breakfast.  And, obviously, bread.  I just can't eat breads or desserts like this for breakfast.  I've explained it before in the sense that I start each day eating healthfully and usually end the night with my hand in the marshmallow bag.

It's true.

Look at the poor stray drop of syrup .  It needs to be licked off of the plate.  Not to mention that lonely little pecan piece.

But on a day like Christmas this is what you want to eat.  Or a Saturday.  Or a Sunday, or a holiday.  A snow day would be even better.  Just make sure you have other people to share it with. (The original recipe called for cinnamon.  I neglected to look at the recipe as I was making it, so there was no cinnamon in mine.  I don't like things over-cinnamon-fied anyway.  Feel free to add some to the syrup-butter mixture.)

Sticky Bun Ring
slightly adapted from this recipe

1 package Grands biscuits
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 T. melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Combine the melted butter and maple syrup in a bowl.  Combine the brown sugar and nuts in another bowl.  Pour half of the syrup-butter into the bottom of a bundt pan.  Add half of the sugar-nut mixture on top of it.  Arrange the biscuits in a spiral around the pan, so they are over-lapping slightly.   Pour the rest of the syrup-butter over the biscuits and sprinkle with the remaining sugar/nuts.
Bake at 375 degrees with 20 minutes.  Allow to cool for a minute or two and then invert onto a plate.

I'm sorry #1:  This is too easy to make.
I'm sorry #2:  You won't be able to stop eating it.
