Instructions
Mix warm water and sugar and stir in yeast. Set aside for a few minutes to bubble.
Mix about 2 cups of flour, salt, eggs, and milk into the yeast mixture until smooth.
Add flavorings and butter.
Slowly add flour until a soft dough is formed.
Knead a few minutes until smooth and satiny, but still somewhat soft.
Let rest for five minutes.
Roll out into a rectangle that is about ½ inch thick or a little more.
Spread with ¼ cup melted butter.
Mix the remaining melted butter (for filling) and brown sugar together.
Add the maple flavoring.
Spread this over the dough and sprinkle with the pecans.
Roll up as for a jelly roll and cut.
Place cut side down on a greased cookie sheet and cover well with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight.
Next morning place the rolls on the counter while you preheat the oven.
Bake in a 375 oven about 35 minutes or until done.
Watch carefully because the sugar will make the bottoms burn if you are not careful.
While the rolls are baking mix the topping ingredients together. Spread on warm rolls.
