If you’ve ever sifted through a vintage recipe box or attended a Southern church bake sale, you’ve likely encountered Pecan Logs—those golden, flaky, nut-studded pastries that taste like a cross between a croissant and a pecan roll.
These Old-Fashioned Pecan Logs are a beloved heirloom treat: tender yeast dough rolled with a butter-cinnamon-pecan filling, twisted into elegant spirals, and baked until golden and fragrant. They’re not overly sweet, letting the rich, toasty flavor of pecans shine—perfect with a cup of hot coffee or tea on a quiet morning.
And while they look impressive, they’re surprisingly simple to make with just a few pantry staples and a little patience.
