Notes
- Add some cinnamon and orange to the icing for extra flavour.
- You can make a chocolate version of these by mixing a little cocoa powder in to the cinnamon sugar.
- The pecans are optional, but they add a nice texture. You could swap them for walnuts or flaked almonds.
- You could mix some ground ginger into the cinnamon for a mixture of flavour, but still those warm flavours.
