Ingredients:
2 c. scalded milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. lukewarm water

butter
brown sugar, cinnamon & raisins

Directions:
Scald milk, add 1/2 c. sugar & butter; let cool.
Dissolve yeast & 1 tsp. sugar in lukewarm water. Beat eggs & salt.
Add yeast mixture to egg mixture. Add milk mixture to yeast/egg mixture.
Add 4 c. flour & beat till smooth. Add 2 c. more flour & more if necessary to make a non-sticky dough. Knead on floured surface till dough is smooth & elastic.
Place dough in greased bowl, turn once, cover,  & let rise in warm place till double, about 1 hour.
Punch down, let rise till finger depression remains, about 1 hour.
Roll out on floured board in a rectangular shape to 1/2-inch thick. Spread with butter.
Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, & raisins. Roll up like a jelly roll, beginning with long side.
Cut roll into 1/2" thick slices; place on greased cookie sheet. Cover with damp towel.
