Blackberry-Hazelnut Sticky Buns
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated pure cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup packed, light brown muscovado sugar
- 3/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- Flour, for rolling
- One 17.3-ounce/2-sheet package all-butter frozen puff pastry, defrosted
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups fresh blackberries, halved
- 1/3 cup granulated pure cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- For the topping: Grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin with butter, even if using a nonstick tin.
- Combine the blackberries, granulated sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Let this macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Mash with a fork, then strain the juice into a small bowl and discard the solids.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the muscovado sugar and blackberry juice and cook until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Divide the caramel mixture among the cups then divide the hazelnuts over the caramel.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a flat surface.
- Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto the floured surface and lightly roll out with a rolling pin to an even thickness.
- Brush both sheets with the butter leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry.
- Divide the blackberries over the butter.
- Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the surface of each sheet.
- Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam-side down.
- Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2 inch and discard.
- Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2-inches wide.
- Place each piece, spiral-side up, in 6 of the muffin cups.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
- Bake until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch, 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven onto a baking rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Use a small offset spatula to remove the buns from the tins, and place upside down on a serving platter.
