Caramel Sticky Buns

Some of my favorite cookbooks that I have are annual cookbooks. I have a few annuals in my large cookbook library. Pillsbury has a general annual book and a Christmas annual book. My mother in law Linda has gotten me both the past few years. I really like these books as they are a collection of recipes from  contestants in the cook and bake offs that they have. The recipes in these books are always very simple and kind of semi-homemade recipes as you can use ingredients like Pillsbury biscuits, pizza dough and crescent rolls to make the recipes, which I like because I am still intimidated by making my own dough, although I think I am going to make myself do it one of these days. I am sure there is a dough recipe somewhere among my near 300 cookbooks!

This recipe was one of the semi-homemade versions as it used Pillsbury grand biscuits to make the sticky buns. This recipe reminded me more of Monkey Bread than a sticky bun, but it was pretty good anyway.
