Prepare yeast roll mix as directed. When double in bulk, punch down. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle about 1/3 mixture evenly in bottom of a well greased 8 or 9 inch tube pan (solid bottom). Shape dough into balls the size of a walnut; dip in melted butter and arrange in pan just touching each other. Sprinkle dough with ½ the chopped nuts and ½ the remaining sugar. Top with a second layer of balls and sprinkle remaining nuts and sugar. Let rise in warm place about 45 minutes, or until double in bulk. Lightly pour KARO syrup over dough. Bake in moderate oven (350°) 60 minutes, or until well browned. Invert and remove from pan immediately.
For a large coffee cake, as illustrated, use 2 packages yeast roll mix and a 10 inch tube pan. Increased KARO syrup to ½ cup. |
