Prep Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Inactive Prep Time: 3 hours

Ingredients:

Dough: ● 1/4 cup warm water ● 1 package active dry yeast ● 3/4 cup lukewarm milk, scald then cool to lukewarm ● 1/4 cup sugar ● 1 tsp salt ● 1 egg ● 1/4 cup shortening, softened ● 3 1/2 cups white flour, measurement varies

Inside the Rolls: ● 1/4 cup butter, softened ● 1/2 cup brown sugar ● 2 tsp cinnamon ● 3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped and roasted

Caramel Sauce: ● 1 1/2 cups brown sugar ● 3/4 cup half & half ● 1/3 cup butter

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water, add milk, sugar, salt, egg, shortening and 1/2 of flour to the yeast. Add enough flour to handle easily. Knead on floured board until smooth (5 minutes). Let rise in warm (85℉) place until double (1 1/2 hour). Punch down, let rise again until almost double (30 minutes).

Roll dough into oblong or rectangular shape. Spread with soft butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon, and chopped/roasted pecans. Roll up tightly (length wise), seal by pinching sides together. Cut into 1 inch slices. Put into 13"X9" pan. Cover and let rise until double, about 35-40 minutes.

For Sauce, cook brown sugar, half and half, and butter in sauce pan until melted. Then before baking drizzle about 3/4 of the sauce over the rolls, and then save the rest to drizzle over rolls again half way through baking (about 15 minutes into it). Bake in 375℉ oven for 25-30 minutes.
