Delicious and Fresh-Tasting Raspberry buns, perfect, for breakfast, lunch, snack or dessert!
Ingredients
  • Dough:
  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 packets active dry yeast (1½ tbs)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, or margarine, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4¼ to 4½ cups all-purpose flour
  • Filling:
  • 1½ cups frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • Glaze:
  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tbs unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ tbs heavy cream
  • 1tsp lemon or orange juice
Instructions
  1. First, heat up the milk until it is lukewarm. In the bowl of your electric mixer, pour in milk, sugar, and yeast. Mix a little, then cover the bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
  2. Next, with the mixer running, add in the softened butter, eggs and salt. Slowly begin adding in the flower until a soft dough forms (if the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but not too much, or the buns will be dry).
  3. Using the dough hook attachment, mix the dough slowly for about 10 minutes. Next, form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover and let sit in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, until it doubles in size.
  4. Prepare your baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray, buttering it, or lining it with parchment paper. A 9x13 dish would probably work great for this, but I used a glass pie plate, and a 9x9 square dish.
  5. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 10x24 inch rectangle.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the frozen raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Spread that over the dough and tightly roll it up. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 16 equal sized slices (you will need to do this pretty fast, because the raspberries will start melting very quickly).
  7. Place the rolls into your prepared baking pans, cover them and let them rise in a warm place for another hour to two hours.
  8. Preheat your oven to 425 deg F, and bake the rolls for about 18-20 minutes until they are beautifully golden brown and the juices are bubbling. Let cool.
  9. Next, prepare your glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, butter and heavy cream in a small bowl. Once the rolls have cooled a little, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  10. These buns are best served warm! :)
