Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the dough.
Using a large spoon or your hands, divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to create a thick icing. Adjust the consistency by adding a few drops of milk if needed.
Once the buns are completely cool, use a piping bag or a small spoon to pipe a cross shape on the top of each bun with the icing.
Allow the icing to set before serving. Enjoy your Bisquick Hot Cross Buns!
