Claire Saffitz Makes Walnut Maple Sticky Buns | Dessert Person.
Is there such a thing as a sweet, sticky, nutty bun that doesn’t put you down for the count? Claire set out to find it! After much testing, this is her ideal sticky bun, a soft, nutty, maple-y swirl scented with cardamom and orange zest. Claire thinks it’s a whole lot better than a giant, overly sweet Cinnabon cinnamon roll, although — ahem — some family members disagree. It’s a family affair this episode!
