Brush with about 3 tablespoon soft or melted butter. Sprinkle with about 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Roll in jelly roll fashion, cut 3/4 inch pieces. Grease 9 x 13 inch pan and an 8 or 9 inch square pan. Sprinkle bottom of each pan with 2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons corn syrup and 1/2 cup pecan halves. Place rolls upside down. Let rise until they are level with top of pan, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 24 to 26 buns.
