BUTTERSCOTCH ROLLS

1 Recipe Sweet Roll Dough:

1/2 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons dry yeast
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or margarine
6-7 1/2 cups flour

In a bowl dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and 1/2 of flour to yeast. Mix with spoon til smooth. Add the rest of or just enough flour to handle easily. Turn onto lightly floured board, knead until smooth (about 5 minutes). (I do all the mixing in my Bosch.) Round up dough in a greased bowl, bring greased side up. Cover with cloth. Let rise til double. Push down, let rise again. Shape.

FOR RICHER DOUGH: Same as above only use 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 4 1/2 - 5 cups flour.

Roll dough into about an 18-inch circle. Cut into twelve triangles. Put a spoonful of pudding mixture on each triangle. Roll up and place on greased cookie sheet, point side down. Let it rise for 10 minutes. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Frost with glaze when rolls are cool.

FILLING:
1 package (6 ounce cook and serve) butterscotch pudding
2/3 cup coconut
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Prepare pudding according to package directions. Add coconut and pecans. Let mixture cool.

GLAZE:
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons evaporated milk
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup powdered sugar

Boil brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter for 1 minute. Blend in powdered sugar.
