Great Rolls! I made the recipe "as is" and found the directions to be clear and easy. I overbaked mine a bit and will watch them closer next time. I love the plumping of the raisins before had - they stand out nicely in the rolls. I also like the addition of oatmeal to the dough. It's not noticeable in the finished product but makes it seem like a healthy addition. They were enjoyed. Thanks for your advice and help Cindi!
