-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder -- rounded
1 tsp baking soda -- rounded
2 tsp cinnamon -- optional
1 tsp nutmeg -- optional
3/4 cup butter -- cold & cut in cubes
1 1/2 cup raisins -- light or dark
1/2 cup molasses -- fancy molasses not cooking molasses
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar -- or icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp milk -- (to 3 tsp)
A quicker alternative to hot cross buns, especially if you love the
flavour of molasses.
prep: 15 MINUTES
cook: 30 MINUTES
total: 45 MINUTES
Yield: 18 smaller tea buns or 12 large
In a food processor or in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar,
baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cut in or pulse in in the butter until the mixture resembles a fine
meal. Remove to a large bowl and stir in the raisins.
Make a well in the center of this mixture.
Mix together the molasses, milk and vanilla.
Pour into the well and mix only enough to form a dough ball. If this
mixture seems too loose a dough, add a little more flour.
Roll to 1" thickness and cut out buns with biscuit cutter and place
in a parchment lined 9x13" baking pan.
Bake at 350F for 25 -30 minutes. Baking time may vary a little
depending on the size of your biscuit cutter.
This recipe makes about 12 tea buns.
GLAZE: 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.

Review: These are delicious. I ate two before they had a chance to
cool! Also made the orange date scones and they are equally delicious.
Review: Just made these biscuits (they are in the oven as I type
this!) and am just wondering if the quantity of raisins in the recipe
is correct. I put in the 1 1/2 cups called for but upon mixing the
dough, wondered if it was supposed to 1/2 cup. Seemed like a lot of
raisins! (Not a bad thingâ?¦.I love raisins!) Fantastic dough, really
nice to work with. Looking forward to having one of these biscuits
with my coffee!
Review: Can you make these without raisins or 1/3 of the amount of raisins?
