Ingredients:  
1½ c. Milk
1½ c. Water
½ c. White sugar
2 tsp. Salt
4½ tsp. Yeast (or 2 packets of yeast)
1 Egg
⅓ c. Shortening
1 c. Raisins (optional)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix together milk, water, sugar, and salt. Add yeast and stir until yeast is dissolved (if using yeast cake, crumble the yeast into the mixture).

Stir in egg and shortening.

Add flour in 2 additions (mix first with spoon, and then with hand) using the amount necessary to make it easy to handle.

Cover dough with a towel, and set bowl in a warm spot to rise. Allow to rise until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).

Tip dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.

Place the dough back into a bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rise for another 30-60 minutes.

Roll out dough in an oblong piece about ½ inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (about ⅔ cup of sugar and 2-3 tablespoons cinnamon). Sprinkle on the raisins (if using).

Roll tightly beginning at wide edge. Cut into 1-inch slices.

Place in greased pans. Cover and let rise until double in bulk.

Bake at 375º until golden brown and completely baked through. Approximately 25-30 minutes.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe will fill (1) 10-inch round and (2) 8-inch pans.

For the filling, I like to combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a tsp. of vanilla to make a paste. Then spread the paste out onto the dough. You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar.
