Recipe looks fine, a typical sweet dough... hint: for easier sprinkling
first blend sugar with cinnamon. And that's not nearly enough
cinnamon, I'd use a geneerous Tbs. And nuts, needs nuts... you can
forego the raisins but not the nuts... pecans are good.

recipe snipped

When I was fresh out of college and working in Back Bay, Boston at a
publishing house, Fridays (payday) we always went to the Red Coach
Grille for their baked, stuffed shrimp. The bread basket had a tasty
variety of breads including to-die-for pecan rolls. No raisins, just a
rich, buttery dough with a butter-cinnamon filling and topping and huge
toasty pecans. Of course the combination meant we were drowsy all
afternoon and productivity dipped, but they sure were wonderful.

Please forgive Sheldon. I'm sure he meant to say forego the nuts and use
lots of raisins. Must have raisins.

This is one time when I agree with Sheldon. Must nuts in sticky buns and
pleanty of them! I could skip the raisins.

I can't eat nuts, so I am lucky that the little bakery I know that makes the
best sticky buns does not use nuts. A sticky but with nuts is a Chelsea bun.

Nuts and dried cranberries (cherry flavoured crasins) is a good
compromise.
