Here’s an old sweetie of a recipe clipped from a magazine, date unknown but I believe it would be 1950s or maybe even 1960s era. This was found in a box stuffed with old recipes and clippings.

TEMPTING TAFFY BUNS, one of the best quickie hot breads ever–something like the Pennsylvania Dutch “sticky buns”–are fast and easy to make, with pantry-shelf ingredients. Here’s how to make this delicious sweet treat: Mix together well with a fork 2 1/4 cups prepared biscuit mix, two tbsp. sugar, 2/3 cup milk. Turn out on floured board and knead lightly. Roll into oblong six by eighteen inches. Sprinkle with one tsp. cinnamon. Blend two tbsp. melted butter, 1/2 cup Brer Rabbit Molasses, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup raisins. Spread the rolled-out dough with half this mixture and roll into a long jelly-roll shape. Cut into sixteen pieces. Place slices in greased eight-inch pan, cut-side down. Spread remaining molasses mixture over dough. Bake at 375 degrees (moderate oven) 25 to 30 minutes. Cool five minutes; invert on serving dish and serve hot.
