Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110o to 115o)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp water
  • icing:
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 to 1 tsp 2% milk

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Stir in butter, egg, sugar and salt. Combine 3/4 cup flour, raisins, currants, cinnamon and allspice; add to the yeast mixture and mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down; shape into six 2-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross on top of each bun. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Beat egg yolk and water; brush over buns. Bake at 375° for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Combine icing ingredients; pipe over buns. Yield: 6 buns.
