Instructions

1.
**Dough:** In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the mashed Jersey Royal potatoes and mix well.
2.
Gradually pour in the warmed Jersey milk, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Add the melted Jersey butter and continue mixing until the dough comes together.
3.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
4.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
5.
**Filling & Topping:** While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened Jersey butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
6.
Line the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread half of the butter and sugar mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
7.
Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans evenly over the butter and sugar mixture in the baking dish.
8.
**Assembly:** Once the dough has doubled, punch it down gently. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.
9.
Spread the Jersey Black Butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border at the top edge.
10.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans evenly over the Black Butter.
11.
Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
12.
Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal slices (about 1.5 inches thick).
13.
Place the buns cut-side up in the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Spread the remaining butter and sugar mixture on top of buns.
14.
Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
15.
**Baking:** Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
16.
Bake the sticky buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. If the tops are browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
17.
While the buns are baking, gently heat the honey for glazing
18.
Remove the sticky buns from the oven and let cool in the baking dish for about 5-10 minutes. Invert the dish onto a serving platter. Gently remove the parchment paper.
19.
Brush the warm sticky buns with honey and sprinkle with sea salt flakes (if using). Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavour, use salted Jersey butter. Adjust the salt in the dough accordingly.

If you don't have Jersey Royal potatoes, you can substitute with another starchy potato, but Jersey Royals are preferred for their unique flavour.

The sticky buns are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

To make ahead, assemble the buns and place them in the baking dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
