1600. Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

I have one cinnamon roll recipe on MCW, and it is so good that I never saw the need of adding another. That one is yeast-leavened, this one is baking powder and soda leavened, making it more convenient and quicker to make. 

Maple and pecan are very much a Canadian flavor combination. This recipe was a hit with everyone, and highly requested to be archived on the blog.

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Filling:

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup chopped pecans

2 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

50g butter, melted

Dough:

3 cups flour

3 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

50g butter, melted

1/3 cup maple syrup

Maple Icing:

2 Tbsp butter, softened

3 Tbsp maple syrup

1 to 2 tsp milk

1 cup powdered sugar

Method:

For the cinnamon filling: Combine brown sugar, sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir with fork. Set aside.

For the dough: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; blitz to combine. Add buttermilk, syrup, and melted butter, and knead in the machine until smooth (it will still be very soft and a little sticky). Place in lightly floured bowl, cover, and chill for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a 9″ square pan with non-stick spray. Roll out chilled dough into a rectangle about 18″ X 8″ on floured surface. Pour cinnamon filling over dough and spread evenly, leaving about a 1/2 inch along one long edge. Press filling down to pack it on the dough.

Roll up to create a tightly rolled log (be gentle, as this will likely stick to the counter a bit, use flour and spatula to help). Pinch seam closed and lay seam side down. Cut into 9 even pieces (about 2″ each), and transfer to prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, until golden brown.

For the maple icing: In medium bowl, cream butter and maple syrup, add powdered sugar. If too thick, add a teaspoon or so of milk to make drizzle consistency. Allow cinnamon rolls to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Pour icing over rolls. Serve warm.
