How to Make Easy Maple Pecan Coffee Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, cut 2 tablespoons (28g) cold butter into 1 cup (120g) Bisquick mix using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (30ml) cold water over the crumb mixture.
Mix gently until the dough just comes together and cleans the sides of the bowl. Do not overmix.
On an ungreased 11-inch round baking sheet, pat the dough into an even circle.
Set aside.
In a 3-quart saucepan, bring ¾ cup (177ml) water and ¼ cup (57g) butter to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Remove from heat. Add 1 teaspoon maple extract and 1 cup (120g) Bisquick mix all at once.
Stir vigorously for 1 ½ minutes, or until a smooth ball of dough forms.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is very smooth.
Spread the choux pastry batter evenly over the prepared crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Let the coffee cake cool slightly on the baking sheet before drizzling with glaze.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup (118ml) powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup, and 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) milk or cream until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled coffee cake.
Sprinkle generously with chopped pecans.
