Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, brown sugar and butter, Mmmmmmmmmmm :-)

But unfortunately, for the person in question, the 'pecanless roll' would
have eggs in it, wouldn't it?

When #1 first asked for my help, I must admit I had a few thoughts of
"This guy is a ****** who just wants to make a scene and feel 'special'".
I thought it was being rather 'specific' to say "I'm allergic to eggs and
nuts"..... but no, there's reams and reams of recipes out there because it
seems *many* people have the same specific allergy.

And then you have the gluten free people, and the vegans..........
