Description

These spiced raisin buns are a delightful treat, perfect for Easter brunch or a cozy breakfast. The warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg create a comforting aroma and flavor. I've been making these for years, and they always disappear quickly! The addition of orange marmalade adds a subtle citrus note that complements the raisins beautifully. While the dough requires some rising time, the result is well worth the effort. These buns are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, with a cup of tea or coffee. Feel free to add a touch of lemon zest to the dough for an extra burst of flavor.

Knead the Dough

Shape the Buns

Deflate dough; divide into 16 equal pieces and form into round buns. Place buns 1 1/2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets; cover with a light cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Prepare Egg Wash

Whisk 1 egg white and 1 tbsp milk together in a small bowl. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Score and Brush Buns

Use a sharp knife to score a deep cross on top of each bun; brush buns with egg wash. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Bake the Buns

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove to cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.
