- Chopped pecans: 1 cup (120 g)
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- Prepare the dough by mixing warm milk with sugar and sprinkling yeast on top. Let it sit until frothy.
- Make the filling by combining chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Assemble the buns by mixing flour and salt, then adding melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth.
- Prepare the sticky topping by greasing a baking dish and drizzling maple syrup and remaining pecans.
- Place the assembled buns in the dish, cover, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
