pecan roll

Sticky nut spiral

A pecan roll is a sweet pastry made from yeasted dough rolled with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar, then baked with a sticky caramel-pecan topping that becomes the glaze when inverted.

A close relative of the cinnamon roll, distinguished by its nuts and gooey coating: We picked up pecan rolls at the bakery.
