  • 7. Brush top of dough all over with about 2TB. butter.
  • 8. Generously sprinkle dough with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans.
  • 9. Roll dough up from long side like you would a jelly roll; seal seam well.
  • 10. Cut filled roll every 1 1/2inch. Poke roll from bottom up in middle to create pretty shape and place in each greased muffin tin cut side down.
