Grampa Paul's Sticky buns

As many in my neighborhood know, Sundays are the day I make sticky buns.  If you time it right you may get one fresh from the oven!  It was my father who perfected this recipe.  He enjoyed sharing these buns with his neighbors too. 

Dough

3 1/2 to 4 cups white flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp yeast

1 cup warm milk

1/3 cup butter

1 egg

In a bowl combine 2 cups flour, sugar salt and yeast.  Add butter to warm milk allowing butter to melt.  Beat egg into milk and butter.  Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and beat for 1 minute. Add remaining flour until a soft dough is created.  Knead on a floured board for a few minutes.  Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

Topping

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup corn syrup

Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil over high heat.  Remove from heat and add corn syrup.  Pour this mixture into the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch rectangular baking dish and set aside.

Filling

2 tbsp soft butter

1/4 brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Roll out dough to 15 inch by 10 inch rectangle.  Spread with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.  Roll up and cut into 1 inch slices.  This will make 15 rolls.  Place in prepared pan, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  Bake for 25 - 30minutes in a 350 degree oven.  Cool for a few minutes and then invert pan on a platter.  Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or cup of tea.  Best eaten on a Sunday afternoon with friends and family.
