Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and sugar.
Add the instant yeast and mix well.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Toss to coat the butter with the flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, soak the raisins in hot water for about 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
Roll the dough into a log starting from the long edge, and cut into 8 equal pieces.
Place the pieces cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are well spaced.
Cover and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and water until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastries before serving.
