Sticky buns are a type of baked good that consists of leavened dough and sticky sweet ingredients such as maple syrup, honey, nuts, sugar, and butter. The dough is rolled out and then placed into a pan. It is then lined with more sticky sweet ingredients such as butter and brown sugar. When the buns are finished baking, they are flipped upside down so the sticky bottom becomes the topping. Schnecken are a delicious treat that people love to eat. They’re usually served for breakfast or as a delicious dessert. Although the history of this sweet food is uncertain, it is believed that schnecken originated in the 18th century when German settlers brought their baking tradition with them as they began to settle near Pennsylvania.
