BUTTERY CARAMEL QUICKS

1/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided use
1 tablespoon water
2 cups all purpose flour*
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In 9-inch square pan, melt butter. Stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar and water. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk all at once, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out onto well-floured surface. Roll out to a 12x10 inch rectangle.

Combine the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Sprinkle over dough.

Roll up starting with 12-inch side. Cut into 1-inch slices; place cut-side down in prepared pan.
