Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup warm milk (110o to 115o)
1/4 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4-1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1 egg yolk, beaten
filling/topping:
6 tbsp butter, melted, divided
2 cups sugar
3-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine milk, water and yeast; set aside. In another large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg to yeast mixture; beat into dry ingredients until blended. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°. Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 8-10 times. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll into an 18x10-in. rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle 1 cup over dough. Beginning with a long side, roll up jelly-roll style pinch edges to seal. Cut into 1-in. slices.
For each elephant ear, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining cinnamon-sugar on a piece of waxed paper. Place a slice of dough on cinnamon-sugar; roll into a 5-in. circle.
Place sugared side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with some of the remaining butter; sprinkle with pecans and cinnamon-sugar. Bake 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
