Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Consider using a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness to the dough.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Ensure it’s cold and cubed.
  • ¾ cup Milk Substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans Swap for walnuts or almonds if desired.
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar Delivers caramel-like sweetness.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Softened for the filling.

Instructions
 

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and vanilla until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon until well incorporated.
  • Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the pecan filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, slice into 1-inch thick pieces, and arrange in the baking dish cut-side up.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Warm the caramel sauce if needed and drizzle generously over the warm rolls before serving.
  • Serve warm and consider topping with extra pecans or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
