• In a small bowl mix the yeast and lukewarm water to proof a little.
• Add the yeast to the above.
• Add the eggs, beaten, and the soft butter; mix well.
• Mix in the flour, a little at a time remembering the hint above (you don't want it so sticky that you can't handle it, but a very soft dough).
• Place in buttered bowl; cover; rise once.
• Punch down and rise again.
• While this is rising prepare the filling and the pecan topping.
• FILLING:.
• In a small bowl mix the butter, sugar, and cinnamon together; set aside.
• STICKY PECAN TOPPING:.
• Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and pecans together and spread evenly in the bottom of 9x13 pan.
• BACK TO THE DOUGH:.
• When risen put the dough on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll into a 9x18 oblong.
• Spread with the cinnamon filling.
• Roll up tightly starting at the wide side; seal well by pinching edges of roll together.
• Cut into 1" slices and evenly place in the pan on top of the pecan topping.
• Let rise till ALMOST DOUBLE, about 35-40 minutes.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
• When you take them out of the oven, immediately turn them upside down on a large tray or platter.
• Let the pan stay over the rolls a minute or two so that the topping runs down over them and you get all the goodness from the pan.

OUT OF THIS WORLD SKINNY CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees; have a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Keep the tube of crescent rolls in fridge until ready to use and you have all your ingredients ready to go.
• In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in microwave safe bowl and set aside.
• Now, take the tube out of fridge and roll out on a cutting board. You want to flatten the dough out with your hands to make a rectangle. You don't need to use a rolling pin but you can use one if you want to make the same thickness throughout.
• Spread the butter with a pastry brush over the entire dough. Save a little butter for when you have rolled up this up after the filling is inches.
• Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture over the butter (a nice coating). Save a little for when it's rolled up.
• Starting with the shorter end, roll the dough up into a log.
• Brush the remaining butter over the outside of the log and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the butter.
• With a sharp knife cut the roll into 8 slices. To do this, start by cutting the roll in half then half again until you have 8 slices.
• Place the slices on the baking sheet. You will probably still have extra cinnamon sugar mixture so sprinkle that over the cut slices.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Turn the pan around after 5 minutes and check after 10 minutes. They should look puffed, light brown and the bottoms will look light to medium brown as well. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
• To make glaze: In a small bowl blend the powdered sugar with the milk and mix up until you have a glaze consistency. If you have a mini whisk this makes for easier mixing. You can use a spoon or small fork as well. When the rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over each roll.
• ENJOY these yummy treats!
