• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 100 grams raisins
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold low-fat butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine raisins, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to form the filling.

Step 8

Spread the raisin filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Starting with the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Seal the edge by pinching the ends of the dough together.

Step 10

Cut the roll into six equal pieces and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the tops of each pastry roll with skim milk to help them brown as they bake.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 13

Let the pastries cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Step 14
