Method (preview)

1. 1

   Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar) in a large bowl.

2. 2

   In another bowl, mix oil, melted butter, orange juice and rind, vanilla, and eggs (4 yolks, 3 whites).

3. 3

   Mix cinnamon and sugar.

4. 4

   Split dough into 4 equal pieces.

5. 5

   Roll each piece on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 7 inches by 10 inches (just smaller than a piece of typing paper).

6. 6

   Spread jam across all but a half-inch strip along one of the short sides.

7. 7

   Sprinkle 1/3 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup raisins over dough, again leaving a half-inch strip.

8. 8

   Roll up jelly-roll side from the other short side, using the empty strip to seal the roll.

9. 9

   Brush top with reservered egg white, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

10. 10

    Repeat for other 3 piece of dough.

11. 11

    Cut each roll into four slices, and place on lightly-greased (or parchment-papered) jelly-roll pan or baking sheet. (Use a pan with sides, since some jam may drip.) Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-35 minutes, until tops are nicely golden.

12. 12

    Variations: Use other types of jam, nuts, and dried fruit.

13. 13

    Use white or colored decorator's sugar in place of cinnamon-sugar mixture for a different look.

14. 14

    Roll smaller for cookie-sized biscuits (reduce cooking time and watch carefully).
