DOUGH: Preheat oven to 375F.

Combine flours, baking powder & brown sugar in a large bowl & mix
well. add oil & mix with a fork until you have a mixture resembling
coarse bread crumbs.

Combine vanilla & orange juice in a small bowl & add to the dough.
Mix until the mixture is evenly moistened. Roll the dough into a
ball on a lightly floured board & knead a few times. Shape dough
into a log, place a piece of waxed paper over the dough & roll into a
rectangle, about 8″ X 16″. Carefully remove waxed paper.

Sprinkle dough evenly with filling & raisins & roll dough up tightly
like a jelly roll. Cut into 10 pieces using a sharp knife in a
sawing motion. Place cut side up in the pan leaving about 1/2″
between each. Press down gently until they are just touching other.
Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Invert onto a plate.

GLAZE: Place sugar in a small bowl, add milk & mix well. Add more
milk if you want a thinner glaze. Drizzle glaze over the buns &
serve right away. If the buns are not to be served immediately, let
them cool before glazing.
