Carter Family Recipes

  • 1 8-ounce can Pillsbury Refrigerated Quick Crescent Rolls*
  • 2 tablespoons margarine; softened
  • ¼ cup brown sugar; firmly packed
  • ¼ cup pecan pieces
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Overlap long sides ½-inch; firmly press edges and perforations to seal. Press or roll to form 14-inch-by-8-inch rectangle. Spread margarine over dough.
  3. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, orange peel and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over margarine. Starting at shorter side, roll up jelly roll fashion; pinch edges to seal. Cut into 8 slices. Place cut side down on large ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each by hand to a 4 to 5-inch circle. Sprinkle each with about ½ teaspoon sugar.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 9 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm or cool.

Note: To use 4-ounce can crescent dough, cut the above ingredients in half.
