Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup whole bran cereal

2/3 cup pear nectar

OR

white grape juice

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

3/4 cup chopped peeled pear

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

vegetable cooking spray

1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar

2 teaspoons pear nectar -- (to 3 tsp)

OR

white grape juice

 

In a small bowl, combine the whole bran cereal and pear nectar or white grape

juice; let soak for 5 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole

wheat flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry

blender, cut in butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the bran cereal mixture all at once. Stir just until dough clings together.

Let dough rest while preparing filling.

 

For Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the chopped pear, the 2 tbsp.

granulated sugar, and the cinnamon. Spray a 9x1 1/2-inch round baking pan with

vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.

 

On a well-floured surface, knead the dough gently for 10-12 strokes (dough will

be slightly sticky). Roll dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread filling

evenly over dough. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting from a long side. Seal

seam. Slice into 12 equal pieces.

 

Arrange slices, cut-sides up, in the prepared pan. Bake in a 400ºF oven about

25 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove

spirals from pan.

 

Meanwhile, for glaze, combine the powdered sugar and enough of the 2-3 teaspoons

of pear nectar or grape juice to make a glaze of drizzling consistency. Drizzle

warm rolls with glaze.
