Ingredients:

1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 package Active dry yeast
4 1/3 cup Flour, all-purpose
1 cup Milk
1 each Butter or margarine
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 each Eggs
1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Pecans, chopped
1/2 cup Raisins, dark seedless
1 tsp Cinnamon, ground

Instructions:

Servings: 18

In large bowl, combine sugar, salt, yeast and 1 cup flour. In 1 quart
saucepan over low heat, heat milk and 1/2 cup butter or margarine (1
stick) until very warm (120-130'F). Butter or margarine does not need
to melt.

With mixer at low speed, gradually beat liquid into dry ingredients
just until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Beat in
vanilla extract, 1 egg, and 1 cup flour to make a thick batter;
continue beating 2 minutes scraping bowl often. With wooden spoon,
stir in 2 cups flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic,
about 10 minutes, working in more flour (about 1/3 cup). Shape into
ball; place in greased large bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let
rise in warm place (80-85'F) until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; cut dough
in half; cover and let rest 15 minutes. Grease 2 large cookie sheets.
In small bowl, mix brown sugar, pecans, raisins, and cinnamon. In
small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 T butter or margarine (1/2
stick).

With floured rolling pin, roll half of dough into 17 1/2x12"
rectangle. Brush with half of melted butter; sprinkle with half of
brown-sugar mixture. From 17 1/2" edge, roll dough jelly-roll
fashion; pinch seam to seal. Cut roll into 9 wedges, 2 1/2 inches at
wide side, 1 inch at short side.

Turn wedges short side up. Press handle of wooden spoon across each.
Repeat with other half of dough.

Place rolls 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Cover; let rise in warm
place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350'F. In cup, beat remaining egg; with pastry brush,
brush rolls. Bake rolls 20 minutes or until golden. Remove rolls from
cookie sheets; cool on wire racks.
