Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110o to 115o)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • egg wash:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • icing:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp butter, softened
  • 3 to 4 tsp milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, eggs, butter, salt, cinnamon and allspice and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in raisins, lemon and orange peel and 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 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 24 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Beat remaining egg with water; brush over rolls. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  5. For icing, combine sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Pipe an X on top of each bun. Yield: 2 dozen.
