Almost Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Roll Ingredients
1 can Pillsbury Grands
1/2 stick melted butter
cinnamon
brown sugar
raisins

Topping
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 cup warm milk

1. Roll out dough on a floured surface. Do your best to pinch the rolls together and make a big oval. Don't worry if there are a few holes.
2. Paint melted butter on top of the dough. Keep some to paint on top.
3. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon liberally on the dough all the way to the edge.
4. Sprinkle raisins on the dough. If you want to make half without raisins, sprinkle the raisins on one of the longers sides of your oval. (top of my photo)
5. Roll the dough as tight as you can.


6. Cut about 1 inch rounds all the way down the roll and place in a greased casserole dish.

7. Paint the top with the rest of your melted butter.
8. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
Here's where we need some help. We guessed on the topping and as you can see above, the rolls looked dry. They weren't, but the wet part was on the bottom of the rolls. I bet there is a way to make a topping that cooks on the bottom of the dish. We'll try this next time.
Here's what we did for a topping:
We combined powdered sugar with warm milk,
poured it on top of the rolls 
and
stuck them back in the oven for a few minutes.
They were de-lic-ious!!!
