Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 cups | Flour |
| 6 tsp | Baking powder |
| 3/4 cup | Sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 cup | Butter |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 1 1/2 cup | Raisins |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Combine and Mix:

- Gently stir until all the flour is moistened, being careful not to overmix.
-
Roll and Cut:
- Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 inches.
- Use a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass to cut out the buns.
-
Arrange in Pan:
- Place the cut-out buns into a 13×9-inch baking pan.
- Arrange them close together; they can touch, as they’ll rise and bake together.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven until the buns are beautifully golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t overbake.
-
Serve and Enjoy:

- These Raisin Buns are best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a slather of butter or a drizzle of honey.
