Ingredients:
- 2 pkgs. yeast
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1 T. sugar
- Pinch of ginger
- 2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted shortening (cooled)
- 2 tsp. salt
- 3 beaten eggs
- 3 cup flour
- 2 cup raisins
- 5 cup flour (more or less)
Directions:
In a large bowl, place yeast, 1/2 cup lukewarm water, sugar and ginger. When yeast is dissolved, stir in 2 cups warm water, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour. Mix well. Add raisins which have been plumped over hot water. Add shortening and more flour. Knead until smooth. Place in a well greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let rise until double. Roll into a rectangle (or make 2 rectangles for easier handling). Spread surface with butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 4 teaspoons cinnamon. Roll up and cut. Place cut-side down in buttered pan. Let rise until almost doubled.
Topping:
- 1 cup cream (whipped)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Combine all ingredients and spread on raised rolls. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. In cutting the dough, use heavy thread. It cuts the dough much smoother and there's no mashing down of the dough.
