Ingredients:

  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 cup warm milk (110o to 115o)
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • icing:
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tsp milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add the butter, raisins, egg, salt and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 portions. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until browned. Remove from the pan to a wire rack to cool.
  5. For icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve a piping consistency. Pipe an X on top of each bun. Yield: 1 dozen.
