Number Of Ingredients 14

3-3 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 package(s) (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/4 cup(s) milk
1/4 cup(s) butter, cubed
1 - egg
FOR THE TOPPING
1 cup(s) packed brown sugar
3/4 cup(s) butter, cubed
3/4 cup(s) chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoon(s) honey
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) maple flavoring

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.
In a small saucepan over low heat, cook and stir topping ingredients until butter is melted. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into 24 well-greased muffin cups. Stir dough down. Fill prepared muffin cups half full. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Place muffin cups on foil-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before inverting onto baking sheets. Transfer to serving platters. Serve warm.
