Sticky Buns

1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk, scalded, then cooled
3-4 cups flour, approx.
1/4 cup butter
3 tbsp. sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup raisins

Filling
1/4 cup butter, softened 1 tsp. cinnamon

Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in cooled milk and one cup of flour, beating until smooth; let stand until light and bubbly, about 1/2 hour. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add egg and salt. Work in remaining flour to make a soft dough. Add raisins. Knead until smooth and lastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Roll gough out into a rectangle 12 x 18 inches. Spread with softened butter. Sprinkle on the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Slice into 24 pieces. Place rolls close together in buttered 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Let rise again until doubled. Bake in 375° preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from pan by turning out onto a rack. While still warm, dribble icing over the rolls.
icing:
Mix together 2 cups confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. If too thin, add a little more confectioner's sugar.
