Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 80 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Golden raisins or sultanas
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C (350°F) for fan ovens. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar and golden raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg with the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix everything together with a fork or spoon until it forms a soft but slightly sticky dough.

Step 7

Using two spoons, drop rough, uneven-shaped portions of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart. You should get about 12 buns.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, jam, or simply on their own!
