Cinnamon Rolls

I use the roll dough found here.

Grease your hands with Pam or butter to handle the dough a little easier. Roll out ½ batch of roll dough onto floured surface into a rectangle about 20” X 12”. It should be about ½” thick.

Make filling as follows:

¼ C butter

½ C brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 Tbs. flour

1/3 C chopped nuts (about ½ cup un chopped)

1/3 C raisins

There are two ways of mixing the filling. If you have a food processer, cut the butter into a few pieces and just put everything in and mix until crumbly. This chops the nuts for you. It also chops the raisins.

To mix by hand, soften the butter, then mix the sugar, cinnamon, and flour in with a fork. Add nuts and raisins.

Spread filling over dough and roll up. Cut off the end then cut into about   1 ¾" slices. I use dental floss to cut or you can use a serrated knife. Put on greased or lined baking sheet and gently press down each roll. Let rise about an hour. I let them rise in the oven with the light on (no heat) and a bowl of hot water in the bottom.  It makes a warm, moist environment for rising. Take out to preheat oven. Bake at 350 ° for 15 - 20 minutes.

Makes 12 rolls.

Frost with vanilla or cream cheese frosting.
