Sticky Buns

"These sticky buns come from a family friend in Rexburg. She is known for her fantastic cooking so whenever I make these not only do I feel quite talented, but I always know I can expect them to taste amazing."

Add yeast mixture, 2 1/2 C warm water, beaten eggs, and 4 C flour. Beat for around 2 minutes.
