FILLING:
While dough is resting, combine 1 cup white sugar, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup softened margarine. Mix well. Add pecans. Roll dough out into a rectangle about 12 x 24 inches or larger. Spread filling onto dough.
Roll dough from the longer side to form a roll. Wet edges and pinch together. Cut roll into 24 slices. Place each slice onto a greased baking sheet. Cover with cloth and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake rolls at 350° for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pans immediately. Serve warm.
NOTE: I usually roll dough to size larger than 12 x 24 and make more than 24 rolls,
These freeze well and can be warmed in the microwave for a quick snack with coffee.
