Cinnamon-Pecan Rolls

1 cup chopped pecans
1 (16oz) package hot roll mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 5 to 7 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
Prepare hot roll dough as directed on back of package: let dough stand 5 minutes. Roll dough into a 15x10 inch rectangle; spread with softened butter. Sprinkle pecans over brown sugar mixture. Roll up tightly, starting at one long end; cut into 12 inch slices. Place rolls, cut side down, in lightly greased 12 inch cast iron skillet or 13x9 inch pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a cloth towel; let rise in a warm place free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bilk.
Preheat oven to 375. uncover rolls, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until center rolls are golden brown and done. Let cook on a wire rack 10 minutes. Stir together powdered sugar, milk, andvanilla; drizzle over rolls.

note: Pillsbury Specialty Mix Hot Roll Mix was tested in this amazing Southern Living recipe. These are wonderful!!!!!
