maple pecan rolls
These are wonderful. I substitute the nuts with raisins because I am allergic to pecans and walnuts.

How To Make maple pecan rolls
-
Step 1Warm milk. Stir in sugar, salt, and butter. Cool to lukewarm.
-
Step 2Measure warm water into large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast. Stir until dissolved. Add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs, and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth.
-
Step 3Stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, and knead until smooth and elastic; about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Step 4Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover, and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk; about 1 hour.
-
Step 5Sprinkle pecans into 3- 8 inch square pans. For maple topping combine butter, brown sugar and maple syrup into saucepan and bring to boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Cook no longer than 3 minutes or the topping will get hard.
-
Step 6Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 9 x 7 rectangle. Spread each with 2 tablespoons of softened butter and sprinkle with a third of the brown sugar.
-
Step 7From the long side, roll as for a jelly roll. Seal edges firmly. Cut into 1 inch slices. Place cut side up into prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until double in bulk, about 45 minutes.
-
Step 8Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Watch closely they will burn easily.
