Ingredients

2 cups flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
1 cup cold milk
1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking oil.
Cut the cold butter into the flour, sugar, and baking powder until crumbly.
Stir in the cold milk to make a soft dough.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread it with the filling butter, and sprinkle it with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.
Roll the dough tightly, cut it into 12 pieces, and place them in the pan.
Bake the buns for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
