  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 to 1 1/2 c. pecans

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo, and you can substitute walnuts for pecans if desired. If you want a more pronounced cinnamon taste, increase the amount to suit your preference. Allowing the rolls to rise overnight in the fridge can enhance their texture, giving you a fluffy breakfast cake the next morning.
