Cinnamon Treats

"Cinnamon Rolls in a Jiffy"
Not sweet but a pleasant nutty flavor with a hint of cinnamon. Glaze adds the finishing sweet touch.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or hard margarine
3/4 cup milk

Filling
1/2 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter or hard margarine, melted

Glaze
3/4 cup icing (confectioner’s) sugar
4 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1. Measure first 5 ingredients into bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly.
2. Add milk. Stir to form a soft ball.
3. Knead 8 times on lightly floured surface.
4. Roll or pat into 10x15-inch rectangle.

(In a pinch, substitute Bisquick)

2. Brush dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon mixture, keeping in from edges about ½ inch.

6. Bake in 400F oven for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly browned.
