Mix 1 cup flour, granulated sugar, salt and yeast in large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons margarine, water and sour cream over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120�F to 130�F); stir into flour mixture. Stir in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. (If using quick active yeast, do not let rise 1 hour cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)

Prepare Honey Nut Filling; set aside. Mix 1/4 cup margarine, the brown sugar and honey in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches; spread evenly in pan. Pat or roll dough into 24x9-inch rectangle. Spread filling crosswise over half of the rectangle to within 1/4 inch of edges of dough; fold dough crosswise in half over filling; seal edges. Cut rectangle crosswise into six 2-inch strips. Twist each strip loosely; place strips crosswise in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double.

Heat oven to 375�F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert pan onto heatproof serving platter or tray. Let pan remain over coffee cake 1 minute; remove pan.
