Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Add the raisins to the dry mixture and toss to coat them in flour. This helps them distribute evenly in the dough.

Step 4

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

Step 7

Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 11

Enjoy warm with butter, or serve alongside tea or coffee for a delectable treat!
