A honey pecan bun is a sweet pastry made with soft, enriched dough that's rolled up with a sticky filling, often containing brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. The buns are baked with a topping of honey and chopped pecans, creating a rich, caramelized glaze on top. When the buns are baked, the honey-pecan mixture melts, creating a sweet, nutty coating that complements the soft dough
