Ingredients

• 1 sweet roll dough (see kittencal's sweet dough)
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste)
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 cup softened butter (can use a little more)
• 1 cup raisins (can use more if desired) or 1 cup chopped nuts (can use more if desired)

Recipe

• 1 lighty grease a metal 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

• 3 in a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger powder; set aside.
• 4 while the dough is rising prepare the syrup by combining all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat stirring with wooden spoon until butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved; pour half of the syrup mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading out with a spoon to cover evenly; set aside the remaining half to drizzle on top of buns later.
• 5 when the dough has finished rising punch dough, remove from bowl lightly floured surface; cover dough and let rest 5 minutes before rolling out (this will allow for easier shaping and rolling).

• 7 spread 1/2 cup softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with prepared sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
• 8 scatter the raisins over evenly.
• 9 roll up dough jell-roll style starting at the long side, then pinch dough together along the top to seal.
• 10 using a serrated knife cut into 12 even slices.
• 11 place the slices cut side down on top of the syrup (3 across the pan and 4 down).
• 12 drizzle the remaining syrup of the top of each slice of dough.
• 13 cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for 30-50 minutes or until doubled (the rising time will depend on what dough recipe you are using and the temperature of the room).
• 14 bake in a 375°f oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
