Last week I used the Model Bakery pecan roll sugar/butter topping and found it too sweet and too gooey to even drop out of the pan. This time I reduced the sugar by 1/3, lined the pan with Silpat and ended up with a strange result. Note the moisture on the Siltpat when I flipped the rolls over:

It's as if the water in the butter/sugar spread leeched out. The result was grainy and a bit dry:

I'm about ready to give up, bake the bare-naked rolls and pour CathyZ's caramel sauce on them when they're already baked. These just aren't pretty enough to warrant the calories.

I was low on walnuts, so I augmented with dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. Sort of "Cinnabun Meets Polish Babka. Has a Granola Love Child."
