Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• If not using silicone pan, brush 9" cake or pie pan with melted butter.

• Whisk together brown sugar, the other half of the sugar. cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/3 of the salt. Add 1/8th of the butter, melted and blend with a fork until evenly moist. Set aside.
• If using raisins, cover them with water so they will plump.
• In a liquid measuring cup place the buttermilk and stir in 1/4 of the melted butter.
• Add mixture to flour mix and stir with a fork until you have a shaggy dough and all liquid is absorbed.
• Knead the mixture in the bowl until just smooth. It will be very sticky. Add more flour as needed.

• Evenly spread the sugar mixture over the top.
• Evenly spread the nuts, whole or chopped - your preference.
• Drain the raisins and spread evenly on top.
• Starting on the long side, oll the dough snugly and gently to the opposite end. Use a bench scraper or meal spatula to loosen, if necessary. Pinch the end seam to seal.
• Roll the log seam side down and cut into 8 equal portions. I start in half, then each in half and each in half again to keep them equal in size.
• Place 1 roll in the center of your pan and arrange 7 around it.
• Brush the tops with remaining butter.
• Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the edges are just golden brown.
