Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality pecans. You can find them in most grocery stores or online.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the dough tough.
If you don't have a donut pan, you can also bake the dough in a greased muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
To make the maple glaze, simply whisk together maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. You can adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
