Hi, this recipe has been in my recipe box sinceit appeared in the Pillsbury Bake-Off booklet. I love it and it is so easy. The only thing I changed is the icing. I use a tablespoon or to of frozen FIVE-ALIVE to make a pungent orange icing. Oh yes, don't forget a tab or two of butter.

Well the triangles came apart and I was not awake enough yet to press them all together again, so I mixed the filling ingredients together (no raisins), spread a spoonful on each triangle, rolled loosely and baked as per package directions. Some of the filling leaked but not enough to worry about. Made the glaze with soy milk and the kids were fighting over them!

Easy-Peasy! I love this recipe! My last time making these I pinched all the seams and made one big log,then cut them into seperate pinwheels. I laid them so they were not quite touching and brushed a little melted butter atop before baking. Baking time is a little tricky so stay on top of them! I baked them at 350 for 13/14 minutes,then turned the oven off and let them sit for another 2/3 minutes.I made a vanilla cream cheese frosting....thick! Ah geez...decadent! Oh,I also used more filling and it made a bit of a caramel base!

Doubled the cinnamon and sugar, blended with the butter, spread onto four rectangle sections (used crescent). Added vanilla to the icing (1 tsp.). Cooked close together, in 9" cake pan. Slightly gooey, but good. Might try baking apart next time.

I followed the tip of mixing butter/cinnamon/sugar together & plumped the raisins before adding them in. I used the seamless sheet to make 4 rolls & sliced the rolls into 4 buns each, rather than 5. I found 375 for 17 minutes too long & will adjust in future. I also froze 2 rolls for future use since I cook for 2. I also added a little vanilla to frosting. Overall good taste & very convenient, but should be watched while baking.
