Ingredients:

3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup butter
2 large eggs, room temperature
Filling:


1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons maple syrup
4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Glaze:


1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
2 to 3 teaspoons whole milk

Recipe Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
In a saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120 degrees -130 degrees.
Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.
Add eggs; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5-7 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 70 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the first 7 filling ingredients; beat for 2 minutes.
Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide in half; roll each into a 16x8" rectangle.
Spread filling to within 1/" of edges.
Sprinkle with nuts.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.

With a sharp knife, cut each roll in half lengthwise.
Open halves so cut side is up; gently twist ropes together.
Transfer to 2 greased 9" round baking pans.
Coil into a circle.
Tuck ends under; pinch to seal.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.
Combine the confectioners' sugar, maple flavoring and enough milk to reach desired consistency; drizzle over warm cakes.
