Preparation

Step 1

This quick pecan pastry is filled with a sweet nut mixture and has a maple-flavored glaze.

Directions

Heat oven to 450°F. Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl; set aside.

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine sour cream, 1/4 cup milk and egg in medium bowl; beat with wire whisk until smooth. Stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture just until dough forms.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 12 to 15 times. Roll out dough, on parchment-lined (16x14-inch) baking sheet without sides, into 15x12-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle filling over half the length of the dough to within 1 inch of edges. Fold dough over filling; cut dough into 15 (1-inch) strips. Twist strips about three times; press ends onto sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet; remove to wire rack

Combine all glaze ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Drizzle over twists.
