These are lovely for breakfast, light and a bit different, with lemon icing and a texture similar to cream puffs. I really like these, as have others. I got the recipe many years ago from a church cookbook called Blessings.

RAISIN BUNS

This is my mom's recipe. She's had it for years--not sure where it came from originally. These are very moist and the vanilla flavoring adds a nice extra flavor.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 15-20 buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix flour, baking powder and sugar.
  • Cut in butter.
  • Then add beaten eggs, milk, vanilla and raisins.
  • Mix just until all flour is moistened.
  • Roll out dough onto lightly floured surface with rolling pin.
  • Roll out to about 2 inch thickness.
  • Use a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass to cut out buns.
  • Put them into a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • Place them all together, no need to separate them.
  • Bake at 450°F until golden brown about 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your raisin buns. Fresh yeast, milk, and butter will give your buns the best flavor and texture.
  • Proof the yeast. This is an important step that helps to ensure that your buns will rise properly. Proofing the yeast means allowing it to sit in warm milk for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. This activates the yeast and helps it to grow.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which makes the buns chewy and elastic. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise. This is another important step that helps to ensure that your buns will be light and fluffy. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the buns. Once the dough has risen, you can shape it into buns. You can make round buns, square buns, or even braided buns. Be creative and have fun with it!
  • Bake the buns. Bake the buns in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overbake.

Conclusion:

Raisin buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of raisin buns that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for?
