List of Ingredients
- ¾ cup whole pecans
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1½ sticks unsalted butter (1 stick, cubed and chilled; 4 Tbsp melted)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 6 Tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. Spread the pecans in a pie plate and toast for about 6 minutes, until fragrant; let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a food processor, pulse the flour with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse until it is the size of small peas. Add the buttermilk, and pulse a few times, just until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead three times. Pat or roll the dough into an 8- x 12-inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon, and sprinkle all over the dough. Beginning at a long side, roll the dough into a tight cylinder and pinch the seam closed. Cut the dough into 12 slices.
- Divide the maple syrup and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter among the cups. Scatter the pecans in the cups and top with the dough pinwheels. Bake for about 18 minutes, until golden; place a baking sheet below to catch any drips. Invert a rack over the rolls, and invert them onto the rack. Replace any pecans that get stuck in the cups and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Makes 12 rolls.
