INGREDIENTS

• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Pour about 1/4 cup of the butter into an 8- inch (5 1/2-Cup)ring mold. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar; set pan aside.
• In a large bowl mix flour, granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, baking powder, and half of the orange rind. Cut in shortening until mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl beat egg with milk until blended. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring lightly just until mixture clings together.
• Turn out on a floured board or pastry cloth, kneading dough into a ball. In a small bowl mix remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons orange rind, and pecans.
• Pinch off pieces of dough the size of walnuts, shape each into a ball, and coat with some of the remaining melted butter. Arrange one layer, spaced slightly apart, in prepared ring mold. Sprinkle evenly with pecan mixture. Place remaining balls of dough over first layer. Drizzle with any remaining butter.
• Bake until golden brown (25 to 30 minutes).
• Invert ring mold onto a serving plate and let stand for about 30 seconds. Then remove pan and serve coffee ring hot or warm.
