Anyone familiar with King Arthur's Sticky Bun Sugar, or how to create the same gooey effect from "scratch"?

thanks Lauren. I do the same or similar with sticky buns with good success. Although the product is called "sticky bun sugar" it marketed for sticky buns, cinnamon buns, granola bar etc.  It intrigued me, because I can't seem to get a good gooey cinnamon buns. This product is supposed to create a gooier consistency I think because it has lecithin.  What do others use for a gooey cinnamon bun filling?

Corn or glucose syrup?
Corn.

Can use honey as well.

You need something to keep the caramelized sugar from getting hard after cooling.

I use brown sugar, butter, light corn syrup and pecans.

Mix everything (except the pecans) together and cook until the sugar melts then pour into the pan add the pecans and top with the rolls.

If there are any leftovers I guarantee they will remain sticky.

We make our own cinnamon butter and "schmear" for our cinnamon rolls and pecan sticky buns.  The "schmear" is brown sugar, butter, honey, corn syrup, and water beaten till fluffy and light.  We use pot pie tins as a base, add the schmear, some pecan pieces then our house made brioche cinnamon log cut in about a 1.5" thick piece.  We let it proof then bake.  After cooling for a few minutes, we flop it out of the tin and tray for sale.  The result is gooey and sticky.  Our customers seem to really like them,

This is great, but what are the measurements?
I just eyeball it but you can take a peek in a trusted cookbook for exact formula ratios for the amt of dough you want to work with.
After being burned by more that my share of internet recipes I have stopped taking advice from places like Pinterest and blogs written by housewives who's families are afraid to be honest when mama asks how it (it being whatever new dish has just hit the dinner table) tastes.

IMO you can never go wrong with "The Joy of Cooking" and anything written by James Beard.

Merry Christmas and welcome to Chef Talk.....

In a 60 quart with a paddle cream this lot.
22 lbs light brown sugar.
16 lbs uns butter or butter blend.
6 lbs honey or corn syrup.
add a bit of water to help the sugar to dissolve during baking, maybe a pint.
salt to taste, vanilla if you feel rich.
It will fill a 5 gal bucket, don't add nuts, put the nuts in the mold after scooping the smear.
