Dough:
- 125 ml lukewarm milk
- 25 g sugar
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 250 g plain flour
1 tsp salt- 1 pcs egg
- 40 g butter melted

- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 tbsp cream
Garnish:

Instructions
Prepare the dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 25 g sugar and 1 tsp dry yeast in 125 ml lukewarm milk. Leave it to stand for 5 minutes, until it foams.
- Add 250 g plain flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 pcs egg and melted 40 g butter. Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic.Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise for about 1 hour, or until it's roughly doubled in size.
Prepare the filling:
- Mix soft 50 g butter, 75 g brown sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon in a bowl until smooth.
Prepare the caramel sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt 50 g butter, 75 g brown sugar, 1 tbsp golden syrup and 1 tbsp cream over low heat until the mixture is smooth. Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of a baking tin that fits your air fryer, and line the bottom with baking paper.
Roll out the dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle of about 30x40 cm. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
Shape the buns:
- Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place them in the baking tin on top of the caramel sauce, with a little space between them.
Cooking:
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. (Use the preheat program, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking)Place the baking tin in the air fryer and bake the sticky buns for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Cool and serve:
- Let the freshly baked sticky buns cool in the tin for 5 minutes, before turning them out onto a plate so the caramel sauce is on top, and topping with 1 dl pecans
Notes
You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra flavour and texture.
