List of Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons shortening
3 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Vanilla Glaze:
1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla



Recipe

stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead lightly.
Roll dough into a 20x14-inch rectangle; spread the softened butter on dough, leaving a border of about 1/2-inch. Combine sugar and cinnamon; mix well, and sprinkle over butter. Top with pecans and raisins, if using. Beginning at long side, roll up jelly roll fashion; press edges and ends together securely. Cut into 1 inch slices; place cut side down in a buttered 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes.
Combine powdered sugar and 3 tablespoon milk and vanilla; drizzle over warm rolls. Makes 20 cinnamon rolls.
