This was one of my favorite treats growing up!! The ones that are bought now cannot touch the ones that were made years ago. They used to be made with lots of cinnamon AND raisins. Yummy Yum!
1pkg. active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
In mixer bowl, combine yeast and 2 1/4 cups of flour. Heat milk, sugar, shortening and salt till warm. Stir until shortening melts. Add to dry ingredients. Then add egg. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form soft dough.. Place in greased bowl, turn once. Cover. Put aside for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let rise. Turn out on a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Roll each half to 16 x 8 inch rectangle.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 4 tbsp. melted margarine, 2 tsp. cinnamon. Spread half the cinnamon mixture over each rectangle. Top each with 1/4 cup raisins. Roll each, from long side, jelly roll fashion. Seal edge: cut in 1-inch slices. Place cut side down in 2 greased 9x9x2 inch pans. Cover. Let rise till double, 30 to 40 minutes.
Bake in 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes and then drizzle with the following icing while still warm.
Combine:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
4-6 tsp. milk
These are definitely worth the effort and once you taste them
