Herman Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 cups Herman Sourdough Starter
• 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)

Directions

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, 11×14 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.
