Easy Sticky Buns

Wow! Can you believe that there is actually a time when there is too much butter? This recipe is it. I made it exactly as it was written except that I only put raisins in half (and actually liked the half without raisins better). It was somewhat messy to make and took me 30 minutes to put together, probably because I had a 3 year old helping me. While baking, lots of melted butter and sugar dripped out of the muffin tins, so the parchment paper that the instructions called for was definitely needed (and then I managed to spill the melted butter when trying to throw away the parchment.) Cook it for the whole time! I took it out early thinking it looked done, but the pastry was not finished cooking all the way, so I put it back in. When finally done, I could not invert the pan onto the parchment as it called for but scooped the sticky buns out with a large spoon and added the leftover pecans that remained in the pan. When I bit in, I tasted too much butter and not enough cinnamon. I don't think I'd make this except for a special occasion, and I would probably cut the butter in half and use more cinnamon. (To add what my 7 year old had to say - "It was too plain. I want icing on mine.")
