3/4 cup warm milk

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

6. Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

8. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
