Steps:

• Mix flour, butter (or marg), and baking powder like a pie crust.
• Add milk and eggs.(best to mix the milk and eggs together).Add about 3/4 of the milk mixture to the flour mixture first, since you may not need all of the milk mixture. (This would be like a pie crust)
• Mix well.
• Divide into 10 balls.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle some sugar/cinnamon mixture on counter.
• Place 1 ball of dough in sugar/cinnamon and roll into a circle, be sure to have sugar mixture on the top as well.
• Cut into 8 wedges.
• Roll up each wedge starting at the wide end.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
• Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
• Note: Each wedge will be about 1 1/2" at the wide end.
• You may have more sugar mixture than you need. That all depends on how much mixture you like on the wedges.
• Prep time will vary.

Steps:

• For the dough, beat the butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the sugar, then add the flour and stir until well combined. Shape the dough into 2 discs, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, until firm.
• To assemble, preheat the oven to 375 ºF (190 ºC) and line 1 to 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
• Stir the sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon together in a small dish.
• Roll out the first disc of dough on a lightly floured work surface to a rectangle about 10-x-15-inches (25-x-36 cm) and ¼-inch (12 mm) thick. Trim the edges and then brush it with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle half of the raisins on half of the dough (10-x-7.5 inches/12-x-18 cm) and fold the half without raisins over this to cover and press gently (the dough will not seal). Cut this into 8 strips and give each a few twist before placing onto the baking trays, leaving space between them (don't worry if a few raisins fall out). Repeat this with the second piece of dough.
• Brush the twists with a little egg wash and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar, if any is left. Bake the twists for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool the twists on the baking trays.
• The twists will keep up to 3 days in an airtight container.

EASY CINNAMON TWISTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper or a [silpat liner|http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00629K4YK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00629K4YK&linkCode=as2&tag=myrecmag-20&linkId=GYHYTBHHHJXO4TQA]).
• Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface (or just push it out with your fingers).
• In a small bowl, mix together sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Brush melted butter over the entire surface of the dough and sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
• Fold the dough in half (long ways or as my kids would say: like a hot dog bun). Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough into 12 skinny strips (about 1" thick). Take each strip, and while holding the ends, twist around once or twice and place on the cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough strips.
• Cook for 11-12 minutes (or until they are slightly golden).
• While the twists are baking, mix together the frosting ingredients. You can either drizzle the frosting over the hot twists or wait until they cool down. My kids also like to use the frosting as a dip.
