Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • filling:
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • icing:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in maple flavoring. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 18-in. rectangle. Brush with melted butter to within 1/2 in of edges. Sprinkle with pecans. Fold one short side of dough a third of the way over filling; fold the other short side over the top, forming an 18-in. x 3-in. rectangle. Cut into 3/4 in. strips; twist each strip twice.
  3. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  4. In a small bowl, combine icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over twists. Yield: about 2 dozen.
