The base of these buns is a soft, buttery dough that's enriched with milk, sugar, and eggs. The process of making the dough is straightforward and involves a bit of kneading to achieve the perfect texture. Once the dough has risen to double its size, it's rolled out into a large rectangle, creating a canvas for the delectable filling.

The filling is a harmonious blend of brown sugar, cinnamon, and the star of the show - fresh or frozen cranberries. The tartness of the cranberries complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and the warmth of the cinnamon, resulting in a flavor profile that's both complex and comforting. The addition of chopped walnuts adds a delightful crunch and a boost of nutrients.

After the buns have risen again, they're baked to golden-brown perfection, and the sticky topping caramelizes as they bake. The result is a batch of sticky buns that are moist on the inside and have a crispy, caramelized exterior. The final step is the most rewarding - inverting the buns onto serving plates, revealing the glorious mess of sticky cranberry and walnut topping.
