Ingredients

Rolls
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins
Dough
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening or 1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
Icing
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and raisins; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well.
Cut shortening or butter in until mixture resembles course meal.
Add milk all at once, stirring quickly with a fork to make soft, sticky dough. Don't overmix.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; gather gently into a ball; knead lightly about 10 times.
Roll out dough into a 10-inch square; spread filling evenly over dough.
Roll up; pinch edges to seal.
With a sharp knife, cut into 9 pieces.
Place in a greased 8-inch square pan.
Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 3 minutes; turn out onto a rack.
For icing, mix icing sugar, milk, and vanilla together.
Glaze or drizzle with icing.
