The family is thrilled when my grandmother, mother and I make these biscuit-like rolls. They have just the right amount of sweetness. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold butter, divided |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons raisins, chopped |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
egg wash: |
1 egg yolk |
1 tablespoon milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
2. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
3. Combine the pecans, brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and allspice; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side up on a greased baking sheet; press down lightly.
4. Beat egg yolk and milk; brush over rolls. Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
