"Though I’d typically make these buns to give to a crowd, they’re now so fluffy and light that the prospect of keeping more than one for myself is pretty tempting." says Andrea Geary, #CooksIllustrated senior editor. 
Start your weekend off with today's #CIEditorPick: Sticky Buns—light, moist buns that aren't too rich or sweet, so you can eat the whole thing without regret. 
To make a softer, more tender, and moist #stickybun, we added a cooked flour-and-water paste to the dough. The paste traps water, so the dough isn’t sticky or difficult to work with, and the increased hydration converts to steam during baking, which makes the bread fluffy and light. The added water also keeps the crumb moist and tender.
