Lemon Frosted Golden Raisin Buns Recipes

GOLDEN RAISIN BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Grease cookie sheets, or spray with non-stick spray.
• Plump the raisins by covering them with very hot water and letting them sit for 5 minutes; then drain them and put them on a paper towel to dry.
• Combine the water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, then add the flour all at once.
• Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until you have a smooth, thick dough.
• Remove from the heat and beat for 2 minutes on low speed or by hand to cool it slightly.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until the mixture has a satiny sheen.
• Stir in the raisins.
• Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
• The buns should pretty much double in size, and be golden and firm.
• While the buns are baking, prepare the icing by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and blending until smooth and of spreading consistency.
• Add more cream if necessary.
• When the buns are done, place on a wire rack to cool and frost while still warm.
• This makes about 8-12 buns depending on the size you make them.

LEMON BUNS

Steps:

• ---Manual/MixerMethod---.
• Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
• Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.
• ---BreadMachine Method---.
• Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.
• When the machine has completed its cycle, set a timer for 30 minutes, and allow the dough to continue to rise; it may crest the top of the bucket, but shouldn't overflow.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
• Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
• Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
• While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
• Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
• Bake them in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
• Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
• Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

MOLASSES GOLDEN RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients except the raisins to the breadmaker and run on the dough cycle, for my breadmaker this is the order given and the dough cycle lasts 90 minutes. Note: I like to mix the warm water, milk and molasses and "proof" the yeast in it for about 10 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.
• When the dough cycle has finished start it again, and add the raisins, let it run for 5 to 10 minutes to mix all the raisins in and then stop it.
• Make dough into a smooth loaf and place in a greased 9" x 5" loaf pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let raise until doubled.
• Bake in a preheated 350F oven about 35-45 minutes, loaf should be golden and sound hollow when tapped.
