Hello again, Dave. I've been enjoying everyone's recipes and feeling guilty
for not contributing more, so as I was paying off a job done by middle son
with a batch of these - I thought I would send it along. I don't know the
origin; all I can tell you is that I never have any left... These rolls can
be frozen and reheated beautifully.
I think this recipe originally was from a Better Homes and Gardens
Cookbook, but I can't be sure - I've been making these for over 20 years.
The recipe can be doubled successfully (yielding 2 sheet cake pans or 32
rolls).
Soften yeast in lukewarm water. Combine next 4 ingredients; cool to
lukewarm.  Add 1 cup of the flour; beat well. Beat in yeast and egg.
Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough; beat well. Brush top
lightly with soft shortening; cover and let rise in warm place until double
(1-1/2 to 2 hours). Punch down; turn out on lightly floured surface and
divide dough in half. Roll each piece in 12 x 8 rectangle.
FILLING: Brush each rectangle with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Combine 1/2
cup sugar and 2 tsps cinnamon; sprinkle half over each rectangle.
Roll each rectangle as for a jellyroll, beginning with long side; seal
edge. Cut each roll in eight 1-1/2-inch slices.
TOPPING: In each of two loaf pans or one sheet cake pan or 2 cake pans, mix
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup. Heat
slowly, stirring frequently till blended. Remove from heat. Spring 1/3 cup
pecans in each pan.
Place 8 rolls cut side down in each pan. Cover; let rise in warm place
until double (35 to 45 minutes). Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 25
minutes or until done. Cool 2 or 3 minutes; invert on rack and remove pans.
Makes 16 rolls.
(If you leave the rolls in the pans to cool longer than a couple of
minutes, they will stick as the caramel topping sets up. You can either
place them back in the oven for a couple of minutes to heat up the caramel
or try a warm water bath. I find it easier to turn them out quickly - so
don't wander too far after removing the rolls from the oven.)
