Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add the raisins to the dry mixture and toss to coat them in flour. This helps them distribute evenly in the dough.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy warm with butter, or serve alongside tea or coffee for a delectable treat!
