How To make Cinnamon Butterfly Rolls

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