Yield 12 Rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 batch puff pastry, Puff Pastry (or 2 sheets of store bought Puff Pastry1 package)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup pecans
12 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
If frozen, thaw Puff Pastry - sit out to thaw for 20 minutes.
Roll or fold the Puff Pastry out on a lightly floured surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter out onto each sheet.
Next, spread half of the 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar onto each sheet.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cinnamon onto each sheet.
Roll the sheets into long rolls, then cut them each in to 6 even pieces.
Create the schmear by creaming together 12 tablespoons of butter, salt and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cup of a large muffin pan.
Put 4-5 pecans on top of the schmear mixture, pressing it down.
Put a slice of the cinnamon roll, spiral side up, in each muffin cup.
Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet - just in case they will bubble over in the oven.
Bake for 25-27 minutes, until puffed and golden.
Let them cool in the muffin pan for 2 minutes - only!
Place another sheet pan on top, and invert them, removing the muffin pan.
