Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 75 milliliters whole milk
- 6 teaspoons raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (350°F) if using a fan oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 3
Rub the unsalted butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the caster sugar to combine evenly.
Step 5
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk the egg and milk together until well blended.
Step 6
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon. Mix until the dough just comes together, but avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently until smooth, then divide it into 6 equal portions.
Step 8
Shape each portion into a round ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun for spreading.
Step 9
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, create a small indentation in the center of each dough ball.
Step 10
Fill each indentation with a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Step 11
Sprinkle the tops of the buns with granulated sugar for a crispy finish.
Step 12
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the buns are golden and puffed up.
Step 13
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
Step 14
Serve the Scottish Raspberry Buns warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea. Enjoy!
