GOLDEN RAISIN BUNS

  • 2 c Water, hot - divided
  • 1/2 c Golden raisins
  • 1/2 c Butter
  • 1 t Sugar
  • 1/4 t Salt
  • 1 c Flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • Icing:
  • 1 T Butter
  • 4 - 5 t Half and Half Cream
  • 1 c Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 t Lemon juice
  • 1/2 t Vanilla

    • In a small bowl, pour 1 cup water over raisins; let stand for 5 minutes. Drain; set raisins aside. In a large saucepan, bring butter, sugar, salt and remaining water to a boil. Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; beat by hand for 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until mixture is well blended, about 3 minutes. Stir in the raisins. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.

    Bake at 375° for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. For icing, melt the butter in a small saucepan; stir in cream. Remove from the heat; add sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Spread on buns while still warm. Serve warm if desired.

    Yield 20 servings.
