Ingredients
- 1/2 c. starter
- 1 c. evaporated milk
- 2 c. flour
- 1/4 c. butter
- 3 Tbs. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 c. flour (or more)
- 1/2 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp. each baking powder & salt
- 2 Tbs. butter, melted

Preparation
Step 1
Combine starter, evaporated milk, and 2 c. of the flour in a large bowl; cover and leave at room temperature overnight. The next morning, beat together butter, sugar, and eggs; blend in sourdough mixture. Combine the 1 1/2 c. flour, soda, baking powder and salt; mix with other mixture. Turn onto a floured board and knead until the surface is satiny and doesn't stick to board (add flour if necessary).
Place ball of dough in the center of board and roll out to a rectangle 8 x 16". Brush surface with melted butter and sprinkle with mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon (and raisins if you wish). Roll up the dough starting on one of the long sides; cut roll at 1 3/4" intervals with a string or sharp knife. (You should have 9 rolls.) Dip top and bottom of each roll in melted butter, place in a square 9 " pan, cover loosely and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hours or until nearly doubled in size. Bake in a moderately hot oven (375°) for 30 - 35 minutes or until crust is dark golden.
