In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Gently incorporate the raisins into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) during the final minutes of the bun's rise time.
Gently brush the tops of the buns with milk using a pastry brush for a glossy finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
