THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE
I found this recipe ages ago in a magazine, and didn't try it until I was requested to bring a coffee cake to Easter brunch. Oh my gosh, the cake was amazing! The recipe was great as is, and I think you'll all enjoy it. I know the guests at the brunch did! (Tip: Now that I've made the recipe once, I do think that it could use more filling. Of course, that's just me, but if you have want an extra sweet coffee cake, I would double the filling recipe, then pour only 1/3 of the batter in the pan when you sprinkle the filling on it. Only sprinkle 1/2 the filling on the batter, pour in another 1/3 of the batter, sprinkle the rest of the filling on it, than pour the remaining cake batter on it. I think that will make the cake turn out even better! Just a suggestion... I'll let you know how it turns out after I try it!)

- Sprinkle brown sugar, pecan and cinnamon mixture over top.
- Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled (sometimes putting a little milk on the edge helps seal it).

- Place into pan on top of caramel.
- Let rise until doubled (about an hour, or quicker if you put the pan on a heating pad).

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine yeast and milk. Let stand until yeast is creamy, about 10 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture and eggs, and mix on low speed until completely combined, about 3 minutes.
- Increase the speed to high and add butter, several pieces at a time. When all the butter has been added, continue mixing dough until it is smooth and shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined 13-by-18-inch baking pan and use your hands to spread the dough out to fit the pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
- Generously butter one 12-cup or two 6-cup, 7-ounce-capacity muffin pans. Chop 2 cups pecans, and break remaining 1 1/3 cups pecans in half lengthwise, keeping the two types separate. Pour 3 tablespoons corn syrup into each muffin cup, and add about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to each muffin cup. Add about 2 tablespoons of the halved pecans to each muffin cup, and set the filled muffin pan aside.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Roll out dough lengthwise, 1/4 inch thick by 15 inches long by 20 inches wide. Using a spatula, spread sour cream over the surface of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dust sour cream with cinnamon, and sprinkle with 2/3 cup brown sugar. Cover brown sugar with chopped pecans, and roll dough up lengthwise to form a roll 18 inches long by 3 inches in diameter.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, and place in the prepared pan or pans, either cut side down, until every cup is filled. Cover buns with parchment paper, and let rise in a warm place until they rise 1/2 inch above cups, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer sticky buns to the oven, placing a cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Rotate the pans between the shelves to ensure even baking, until buns are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Remove the pans from the oven, and immediately turn buns out onto a second parchment-covered cookie sheet. Replace any pecan halves that fell off buns when turning them out. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish; set aside. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter in a microwave-safe small bowl or liquid measure; microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the butter.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3 tablespoons of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 2 of the eggs and the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a little of the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Working in batches, pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and small bubbles appear on the tops, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other sides, about 2 minutes. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Transfer the pancakes to a plate as finished. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary. (You should have at least 12 pancakes.)
- Whisk together the half-and-half, vanilla, the remaining 5 eggs, the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Shingle the pancakes in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pancakes. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours up to overnight to allow the pancakes to soak in the custard.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole and bake until the custard is set and the center feels firm but springy, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, put the maple syrup and pecans in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the syrup has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Pour the pecan-maple syrup over the casserole. Serve with extra maple syrup on the side.
Tips:
- To achieve perfectly crunchy pecans, preheat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit (163° Celsius) and roast the pecans for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Use a flavored oil, such as coconut oil or grapeseed oil, to add an extra layer of flavor to your cinnamon pecans. You can also use melted butter, but be sure to reduce the amount of oil you add to the recipe.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the pecans before baking to enhance their natural sweetness and balance the flavors.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the cinnamon-sugar mixture before coating the pecans.
- Store your cinnamon pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon pecans are a versatile and delicious treat that can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, yogurt, oatmeal, or used as a topping for desserts. With their sweet and crunchy texture, they are sure to satisfy your cravings. Experiment with different flavor combinations and enjoy this easy-to-make snack or addition to your favorite dishes. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give cinnamon pecans a try - you won't be disappointed!
