Herman Cinnamon Rolls recipe

15 servings

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup margarine

1 cup white sugar

3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons raisins (optional)

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)

In a large bowl combine Herman Sweet Sourdough Starter, flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and eggs until well blended.

Knead dough in bowl for 5 to 7 minutes, or until mixture is smooth.

Let rise in warm place until doubled.

Punch down.

On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a 10 x 20 inch rectangle.

Combine melted margarine, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Spread mixture over dough.

Sprinkle with walnuts or raisins, if desired.

Starting on long side, roll up dough, jellyroll fashion.

Press ends together to make a seam.

Cut in 1-inch slices and place in an ungreased, 11x14 inch cake pan.

Allow rolls rise to double their size.

Bake in a preheated 325 F oven (165 degree C) for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.
