Molasses Raisin Tea Buns
In a food processor or in a large bowl, combine:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 rounded tsp baking powder
1 rounded tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg (optional)
Cut in or pulse in in:
3/4 cup cold butter, cut in cubes
until the mixture resembles a fine meal. Remove to a large bowl and stir in:
1 1/2 cup raisins (light or dark, your preference)
Make a well in the center of this mixture.
Mix together:
1/2 cup fancy molasses
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour into the well and mix only enough to form a dough ball.
Roll to 1 inch thickness and cut out buns with biscuit cutter and place
in a parchment lined 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30
minutes. Baking time may vary a little depending on the size of your
biscuit cutter.
This recipe makes about 12 tea buns.
Vanilla Glaze
1/2 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 to 3 tsp milk
Mix together until smooth. You will want this to be quite a stiff glaze
so only add enough milk to bring it to a thick consistency. Pipe crosses
onto the tops of the warm buns. A Ziploc bag with the corner snipped
off works well for this if you do not have a piping bag.Hot Cross Molasses Raisin Tea Buns
