Ingredients:
- 1 cup of warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3-3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup raisins

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Spread softened butter over the dough, and sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels in a greased baking dish, cover, and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly before serving, and enjoy the heavenly aroma of cinnamon filling your kitchen!
