Ingredients

  • 4.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup margarine, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter, melted

Steps

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend 30 seconds with mixer on low speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in remaining 3 cups flour. (Dough should remain soft and slightly sticky). Knead for 5 minutes, or about 200 turns on a lightly floured board. Cover dough and allow to rest for half an hour.
  2. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12×7 inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon soft butter; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Roll up the halves, beginning at the wide side. Seal well by pinching the seams. Cut each roll into 12 slices.
  3. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in each pan. Place 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a small space between slices. Let rise until doubled.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. Bake buns in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Invert pans onto serving plates immediately.
