BUTTERSCOTCH WHEELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt two tablespoons butter in small pan over low heat. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and mix in pecans. Spread mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch-square ungreased baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut 8 tablespoons butter into flour until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and stir until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for 30 seconds. Roll into 10-inch-by-12-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
• Cream remaining butter with remaining brown sugar and the cinnamon until mixture is light and fluffy. Spread thinly over dough. Starting at a long end, roll up dough tightly, jelly-roll style, making an approximately 1 1/2-inch thick log of dough. Cut roll crosswise into 1-inch slices; place flat in a baking dish with one of the cut sides down.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove at once from dish and serve warm.
