PEANUT BUTTER AND FRUIT ROLL UPS
1 1/2 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons butter
1/2+ cup milk
3 tablespoons JIF creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons golden raisins*
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Cut in 2 tablespoons of cold butter until it reaches a consistency of cornmeal.
- Add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Pat into a rectangular shape 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface.
- Cream the peanut butter and 2 teaspoons butter and spread onto dough.
- Sprinkle the raisins randomly on top.
- Roll up like cinnamon rolls.
- Slice off 1/2 inch rolls and place in a well greased baking dish.
- Bake 18-20 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
*I have used cut up chunks of dried apricots and they were really yummy too. If you prefer the original recipe called for currants instead of golden raisins, 1 tablespoon less of peanut butter and lard instead of the 2 tablespoons of butter.

I do the memes: Menu Plan Monday hosted by Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie, Favorite Ingredient Friday hosted by Kathryn at Overwhelmed with Joy, Freezer Food Friday hosted by MJ at mjpuzzlemom, Scrumptious Sunday hosted by Meredith at Mercedes Rocks and Slow Cooking Thursday hosted by Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Doing them all make great additions to help keeping me on track and finding so new recipes!
I would end up eating the whole batch cause my son doesn’t enjoy peanut butter. Here is the link to the King Ranch casserole http://springmontcottage.blogspot.com/2007/09/recipes.html
I hope it works!
Very interesting!
