In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs, sugar, and salt for the dough mixture. Combine the warm milk and margarine and add to the egg mixture. Slowly add 4 cups flour and beat well. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining 4 cups flour and mix on medium speed for 7 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise to double its size, about 1 hour.

Spread butter over the dough and sprinkle entire surface with the mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Roll the dough into a cylinder shape starting with the bottom edge, and then cut into 36 slices. NOTE: This recipe makes 36 small. It would be better to split dough in half and roll out so that when rolled up it’s about 18 in. long and about 2 to 2-1/2 in. dia……..then cut into 18. So, recipe would make 36 small.
