ISO cinnamon/raisin rolls/twists

[rinsav]

Please help! I bought all the ingredients for a recipe that I found through the online newsletter and now I can't find it again. It was some kind of cinnamon raisin breakfast twists and I think it might have referred to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the description. If anyone has this recipe and could post it, I'd be very grateful! Thanks.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Cinnamon Twists

SOURCE: Cooking Light YEAR: March 1998 PAGE: 174

INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS:
1 package dry yeast (2-1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup warm 2% reduced-fat milk (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup stick margarine or butter, melted and divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup golden raisins
Cooking spray
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons 2% reduced-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:
Here's our take on the pastry that Holly Golightly might have been munching on
in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's. It takes place at dawn in
front of the famous New York jewelry store's windows.

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly
spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 2 cups flour, 1/2
cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons margarine, salt, and egg to
bowl, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup flour
and raisins to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of
remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to
hands.

2. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or
until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down. Roll dough into a 12-inch square on a
lightly floured surface. Brush dough with 2 tablespoons margarine. Combine 1/3
cup granulated sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over dough. Cut dough in half
crosswise. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 12 strips. Place 2 strips
together, and twist. Pinch ends to seal. Place twist on a large baking sheet
coated with cooking spray. Gently press ends to baking sheet. Repeat procedure
with the remaining dough. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled
in bulk.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4. Uncover dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until browned. Remove
from pan, and cool on wire racks. Combine powdered sugar, 2-1/2 teaspoons
milk, and vanilla in a bowl; stir well. Drizzle over twists. Yield: 1 dozen.

Thanks so much, grace! I made them last night and my boyfriend said they tasted store-bought so I guess that's a good thing. Have a great weekend!
