ingredients
directions
1. Butter a 9-inch round glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside. |
2. In a small bowl, combine raisins and liquor, and let soak until plumped, about 20 minutes. |
3. In a second small bowl, combine cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and remaining 6 tablespoons butter; set aside. |
4. In a third small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, honey, and pecans. Spread mixture evenly in prepared baking dish; set aside. |
5. Roll dough into a 12 inch by 6-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Drain raisins, and sprinkle over brown sugar mixture. Beginning with the long side of the dough, roll into a log. Place the log, seam side down, on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the log crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices, cut side down, to prepared baking dish (the slices should fit snugly). Set aside in a warm place, and allow to rise until slightly puffy, 20 to 30 minutes. |
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place baking dish on a baking sheet and sides and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the buns are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. |
7. Let cool for 5 minutes. While still warm, place a plate over baking dish. Invert baking dish to unmold. Serve warm or at room temperature. |
