2 cups flour                                      1 cup milk
4 tsp. baking powder                        1/3 cup soft butter or margarine
1 tsp. salt                                          3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine (cold)     1 tbs. cinnamon
                                1/3 cup raisins (optional)

Preheat oven at 450⁰
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt, cut it the 1/2 cup butter with two knives or a pasty blender.  Incorporate the milk and combine, do not over mix, it will harden the dough.  Turn the dough onto a floured board, and kneed 6-8 times.  Again do not do more as the dough will harden.  Roll the dough out to a rectangle 12 X 16 approx. Spread the 1/3 cup butter onto the dough, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and spread this onto the butter.  Sprinkle with the raisins if using.  Roll the buns from the back to the front, seal the seam with water.  To cut the roll into slices, use a piece of unflavoured dental floss. Place an 18" piece of  thread beneath the roll one inch or so from the end,  bring up the two ends, cross them over and pull, a neat slice should be cut off..  Place the slices on a greased pan and bake for 12-15 minutes (10 min. a convention oven)

This recipe is surprising due to the pepper, its very nice.
