1 c raisins or sliced nuts (can use more if desired) .
1/2 c softened butter (can use a little more) .
1/3 c butter .
1 tbsp cinnamon (or to taste) .
1 c dark corn syrup .
SYRUP .
1/2 c brown sugar .
1 sweet roll dough (see Fantastic Sweet Dough) .
FILLING .
1/2 c honey .
1/2 c dark brown sugar .
1/2 c white sugar
Directions
Step #1 Lighty grease a metal 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Step #2 Prepare sweet dough recipe as directed.
Step #3 In a small bowl mix together 1/2 c white sugar, 1/2 c brown sugar, cinnamon & ginger powder; set aside.
Step #4 While the dough is rising prepare the syrup by combining all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; heat over med-heat/flame stirring with wooden spoon until butter is melted & the sugar has dissolved; pour HALF of the syrup mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading out with a spoon to cover evenly; set aside the remaining half to drizzle on top of buns later.
Step #5 When the dough has finished rising punch dough, remove this from bowl onto lightly floured surface; cover dough & let rest 5 mins before rolling out (this will allow for easier shaping & rolling).
Step #6 Roll out into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle (does not have to meaure exactly).
Step #7 Spread 1/2 c softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with prepared sugar/cinnamon mixure evenly over the butter.
Step #8 Scatter the raisins over evenly.
Step #9 Roll up dough jell-roll style starting at the long side, then pinch dough together along the top to seal.
Step #10 Using a serrated knife cut into 12 even slices.
Step #11 Place the slices cut side down on top of the syrup (3 across the pan & 4 down).
Step #12 Drizzle the remaining syrup of the top of each slice of dough.
Step #13 Cover up with a clean tea towel & let rise for 30-50 mins or until doubled (the rising time will depend on what dough recipe you are using & the temperature of the room).
Step #14 Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25 mins or until golden brown.
