    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4               cups  all-purpose flour
    4          teaspoons  baking powder
    1           teaspoon  baking soda
    1           teaspoon  salt
       1/2           cup  cold butter
    1 1/4           cups  milk
       1/4           cup  pure maple spice
       1/2           cup  maple sugar -- or granulated sugar
    1         tablespoon  apple pie spice
       1/2           cup  butter -- softened
       2/3           cup  raisins -- optional
    2        tablespoons  butter -- melted
                          Maple Glaze:
    1 1/4           cups  powdered sugar
    2        tablespoons  pure maple syrup
                          milk -- as needed

Preheat oven to 375F.  Line a 15 x 10 x 1" baking pan with parchment 
paper;, extending edges over ends; set aside.  In a lg bowl combine 
flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Using a pastry blender, 
cut in 1/2 c cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse 
crumbs.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.  Add milk 
and maple syrup all at once.  Using a fork, stir just until dough forms a ball.

On a lightly floured surface knead dough gently for 10 - 12 
strokes.  If desired, place dough between two pieces of parchment 
paper.  Roll or pat dough into a 14 x 10" rectangle.  In a small bowl 
combine maple sugar and apple pie spice.  Spread dough with 1/2 c 
softened butter; sprinkle with sugar-spice mixture.  If desired, 
sprinkle with raisins.  Starting from a long side, roll up in a 
spiral.  Pinch seam to seal.  Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 
slices.  Arrange slices, cut sides down, in prepared pan.  Drizzle 
with the 2 T melted butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 - 20 min or until golden.  Using 
edges of parchment paper, lift from pan to a wire rack.  Cool 
slightly.  Drizzle with Maple Glaze.

Maple Glaze:
In a small bowl combine powdered sugar and pure maple syrup.  Stir in 
enough milk, 1 tsp at a time, to make drizzling consistency.
