Insert the metal blade in the processor. Process the zest with the
brown sugar until finely chopped, about 20-30 seconds. Remove
and reserve. Add 4 tablespoons of the cinnamon to the work
bowl with the maple syrup, orange juice, melted butter and
vanilla; process 10 seconds. Remove and reserve, pouring 1 cup
of the mixture into one bowl/cup and dividing the rest among the
4 prepared baking pans.
Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll out the dough on a
lightly floured surface to a 10 x 12 inch rectangle. Leaving a
1/2 inch border all around, sprinkle with one quarter of the
cinnamon mixture, and top evenly with 3/4 cup of the raisins and
1/2 cup of the walnuts. Starting from a short end, roll the dough
tightly, jelly-roll style. Use a serrated knife to cut into 9 even
slices. Arrange the slices cut side down in one of the prepared
pans. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling ingredients.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about
45-60 minutes. Alternatively, the covered buns may be placed in
the refrigerator to rise. About 30 minutes before baking, preheat
the oven to 350°F. Heat the unused syrup mixture if the butter
has solidified. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the maple syrup mixture evenly
over each pan of buns. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the buns
are browned on the top and spring back when pressed. Let cool
in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert on a plate to serve. The
sticky buns are best served warm.
