Ingredients
Raisin Buns
- Ingredients
- 17 ⅗ ozs Pastry flour
- 1 cube fresh Yeast
- 8 Tbsps sugar (divided)
- 7 ozs lukewarm milk
- 1 ¾ ozs softened butter (plus more for greasing)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsps raisins
- grated Lemon peel
Pour flour into a bowl and form a well in center. Crumble yeast into well and add 2 tablespoons sugar and 5 tablespoons of milk. Sprinkle with flour, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Add butter, salt, eggs, vanilla, remaining sugar, raisins, and lemon zest to flour and knead into a smooth dough with the dough hook of a mixer, adding milk as needed to soften the dough.
Cover dough and place in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough should double in size.
Divide dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Set aside and let rest for about 15 minutes.
Grease a rectangular baking dish measuring 8 x 12 inches. Place dough balls inside and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve.

Healthy, because
The raisins, which are rich in fiber, support a constant blood sugar level and slow down cravings. This recipe is also a good source of calcium and phosphorus, which strengthens the bones and promotes dental health.
Even smarter
These raisin buns are of course also a treat without raisins - so you can simply leave them out or replace them with cranberries, for example. Try out some different combinations and see what you like best!
