  • description: I Tried Making Homemade Little Debbie Honey Buns | Claire Recreates In this episode of Claire Recreates, Claire tackles a true lunchbox classic: the Little Debbie Honey Bun. Soft, sticky, sweet, and glazed, Honey Buns are one of the most iconic packaged pastries around and recreating them at home is a labor of love. Claire dives into what makes the original so nostalgic, from the enriched dough and spiraled shape to the signature sticky-sweet glaze. You’ll watch as she mixes and proofs the dough, rolls and cuts each bun, then fries them to get that signature tender, slightly chewy texture. Once they’re golden, she finishes them with a warm honey glaze that melts into all the nooks and crannies, giving them that unmistakable glossy sheen. Along the way, Claire shares tips for developing flavor in the dough, keeping the buns soft after frying, and getting the glaze just right. Whether you grew up eating Honey Buns on the go or just love seeing nostalgic snacks recreated from scratch, this episode is pure sticky-sweet comfort. Stick around until the end to see how Claire’s homemade Honey Buns compare to the Little Debbie original, and whether she can truly match the iconic taste and look. Subscribe for more recreations of nostalgic snacks and comfort-food favorites, and let us know what Claire should take on next. #ClaireRecreates #HoneyBuns #LittleDebbie Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:15 First impressions 00:54 Smell test 02:12 Taste test 02:49 Reading the ingredients 04:44 Measurements 06:16 Game plan 06:40 Dough Rise 13:29 Form buns (swirl) Proof 21:21 Frying Glazing 27:24 Comparison 30:17 Cat cam DOUGH ¾ cup whole milk 38g plus 368g all-purpose flour 3 large eggs, chilled 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar 1½ tablespoons honey 8 grams kosher salt 1½ teaspoons instant yeast 85g unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces, chilled Neutral oil, for frying SWIRL Water + Cinnamon GLAZE ½ cup whole milk 2 tablespoons unsalted butter What's for Dessert by Claire Saffitz is out now: https://geni.us/WjcIbfp Dessert Person Online: https://www.dessertperson.com/ Claire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csaffitz/?h… Claire Merchandise: https://www.dessertperson.com/buystuff Penguin Random House Books: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/ Video Series: Producer/Director: Vincent Cross Camera Operator: Calvin Robertson Editor/Motion Graphics: Hal McFall Animation Credits: Character Designer/Animator/Backgrounds: Jack Sherry Character Rigger: Johara Dutton
