2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 beaten egg

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

3 tablespoons brown sugar, granulated sugar

Oven 450^o

Method

In a mixing bowl stir together flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter or margarine till mix powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup or margarine till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center.  Combine egg and milk; add all at once to dry mixture. Stir just till dough clings together. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 12 to 15 strokes.

Roll dough into 1 15x8-inch rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine. Combine pecans and 3 tablespoons brown sugar or granulated sugar; sprinkle over dough. Fold dough in half lengthwise to make a 15x4-inch rectangle. Cut into fifteen 1-inch wide strips. Holding a strip at both ends, carefully twist in opposite  directions twice, forming a spiral. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, pressing both ends down. Bake in 450^o oven about 10 minutes or till golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 15 spirals.
