In my last article I wished my sister-in-law a happy “milestone” birthday. Last Saturday her children got together and hosted a birthday party celebrating the event. Besides family, there were friends from her school days and friends from her work days. Everyone was supposed to bring a favorite memory. Some people read theirs out loud. They were sweet and funny. I also snapped a few pictures to share with you.
Thinking about how sweet the birthday party was, it brought me to this sweet and sticky recipe. I hope you enjoy it with the special person (people) in your life.
Honey Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
* 1 – 1 pound loaf frozen white bread dough
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* Butter-flavored cooking
The birthday girl with grandkids.
* 1/3 cup honey
* 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Thaw dough in refrigerator 12 hours; cover and bring to room temperature (about 1 hour). Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface; coat with cooking spray, and sprinkle with sugar mixture.
Coat dough again with cooking spray. Roll dough tightly, starting with short end, pressing to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Cut dough crosswise into 12 – 1 inch thick slices.
Place honey in a small microwave safe bowl; heat at HIGH 20 seconds. Pour honey into a 9 inch round cake pan, tilting pan so honey covers bottom, sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans.
Place rolls, cut sides down, in pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Invert rolls immediately onto a platter, cool 5 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.
