Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold butter, divided
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons raisins, chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
EGG WASH:
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
Combine the pecans, brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and allspice; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side up on a greased baking sheet; press down lightly.
Beat egg yolk and milk; brush over rolls. Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
