2 tablespoons raisins

Roll each portion of dough into a circle – 1/8 inch thick. Brush with melted butter. Spread on of the fillings on each rolled-out circle. Cut each into 16 pie-shaped wedges. Beginning at the outer edge, roll wedges tightly; place, point down, on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes – until lightly browned.
