Recipe: Quick Pecan Rolls (Betty Baker, 1960's)

QUICK PECAN ROLLS

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
36 pecan halves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup milk

Mix together butter and brown sugar and place about 1 tsp of mixture in each well in muffin pan. Place 3 pecan halves in each well. Stir cinnamon into remaining brown sugar mixture. Set aside.

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening.

Combine vinegar and milk and add to flour mixture. Stir lightly with a fork until flour is dampened. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently about 1/2 minute.

Roll into 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Spread with cinnamon mixture. Roll as for jelly roll. Cut in 1-inch thick slices. Place cut edges down in muffin pans.

Bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for 12 to 15 minutes.
