Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients:

• 6 tbl. butter
• 2 cup flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder 
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 tbl. raisins
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 medium egg
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tbl. brown sugar

Melt 4 tbl. butter. cool. Sift 2 tbl. sugar with flour, salt and baking powder. add beaten egg end 2 tbl of the melted butter to water, and add slowly to dry ingredients to make soft dough. Knead lightly. Roll out 1/4 thick on floured board; brush with remaining melted butter. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle with raisins over dough. Roll as for jelly roll. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Cream 2 tbl. butter with 2 tbl. brown sugar. Spread this mixture on bottom and sides of a 2 or 10 cast-iron baking pan (or skillet), and heat just long enough for butter to melt. Cut dough into 1 pieces an place with cut edges up on pan, about 1/2 apart.

Lots of cinnamon-sugar will fall out when you cut the buns.

Sprinkle this on top of the pieces in the pan. As oven heats to 400 degrees, allow dough to stand 15 minutes.

Bake 25 minutes. Remove from pan at once, turning upside down to serve. Buns will expand to form a larg cake. 

There will be about a dozen buns. Pull apart to eat.
