Sourdoughs International

One of our employees, Margie, tried out our sourdough to make cinnamon rolls.  They looked fantastic.  We are now trying to convince her that she needs to have a taste sampling of them at work.  Don't you think that is a great idea?  Here is the recipe that she used. 
Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls (printed from cooks.com)
1/2 cup starter
1 cup evaporated milk
2 cups flour
1/4 cup butter
3 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour (approx.)
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped nuts
Melted butter
Combine starter, milk and flour (2 cups) in a large bowl.  Cover and leave at room temperature overnight.  Next morning, beat together the butter, sugar and egg.  Blend into sourdough.  Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, soda and baking powder and mix with other mixture.  Turn out on floured surface and knead until shiny.  Add flour as needed.
Roll out to an 8 x 16 inch rectangle.  Brush surface with melted butter, sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and nuts.  Roll up dough, cut roll at intervals, dip in butter and place in 9 inch square pan.  Let rise about 1 hour and bake at 375° for 30 to 35 minutes.
Icing: 
1/2 stick butter melted
3 tbsp. evaporated milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Her family went nuts for these cinnamon rolls.  Even the sourdough skeptic husband (who said he never eat sourdough is now converted). 
Happy baking and please send us your stories, pictures or ideas!!!
