How to Make Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the shortening melts completely.
- Cool the mixture to 110°F (43°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F).
- Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the cooled milk mixture, 2 large eggs, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup rolled oats to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add enough remaining all-purpose flour (about 3-3 1/2 cups) to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes).
- Place the dough in a well-greased bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough.
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup golden raisins and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside, leaving the raisins in the liquid.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 12x12 inch square.
- Spread each square with 1 tablespoon (14g) softened butter.
- Drain the raisins.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup (67g) softened butter, drained raisins, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Spread the mixture evenly over each dough square.
- Tightly roll up each dough square, pinching the seams to seal.
- Cut each roll into 1-inch slices. Place the slices in two greased 8x8 inch baking pans.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for approximately 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While rolls are baking, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons milk or water to make a glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls.
