Molasses-Pecan Sticky Buns

As much as I like making yeast breads, I enjoy watching others enjoying my baking even more. These soft, tender rolls are loaded with the gooey goodness of molasses.—Shirley Saylor, Felton, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
TOPPING:
1/2 cup butter, cubed

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a
small saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to
