Raspberry Buns Recipes

RASPBERRY BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C Fan
• Lightly grease a baking tray
• Place the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the cubes of butter and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips to form a breadcrumb like mixture.
• Using a wooden spoon stir in the beaten egg and mix until a soft dough is formed.
• Using your hands make balls of equal size from the dough mixture. Press a hole into the middle of each ball with a finger, put in a little jam (about ½ tsp) and pull the dough over the jam to close up the hole.
• Slightly flatten each ball as you place them onto the baking tray leaving a little space apart for them to rise and brush with the milk.
• Bake in the centre of oven for 10 - 15 minutes until cooked.
• Place the buns on a wire rack and allow to cool completely to room temperature.
• Store your raspberry buns in an airtight container and consume within 3 - 4 days.

RASPBERRY VATRUSHKA BUNS

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast over 1/4 cup of warm milk in a small bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon flour and 1 1/2 teaspoon caster sugar; stir to dissolve. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup sifted flour and 1/4 cup warm milk in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix well to form a sticky dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and cover the plastic-wrapped bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for until doubled, 2 hours or more.
• Beat butter, egg yolk, and 2 tablespoons caster sugar with an electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the butter mixture to the dough; pour in 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until the dough is no longer sticky and feels smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and top it with the towel. Let the dough rise again for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Return the dough to a floured work surface. Press down lightly with your hands to deflate it, and use a knife to cut the dough into 8 pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Place two glasses on the baking sheet to hold up the towel, and arrange the towel over the rolls to prevent them from drying out. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Remove the towel and glasses. Dip the bottom of a 2-inch glass or jar in flour and press down in the center of each bun to form a hollow. Fill the buns with the raspberries. Brush the beaten egg white on the edges of the buns and sprinkle each bun with about 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the buns are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
