Powdered Sugar - 2.1 oz
Butter - 1.8 oz
Sugar - 0.9 oz
Raisins - 1.8 oz
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the flour with brown sugar, refined and granulated, spices, and the grated zest of half an orange and half a lemon.

Step 2

Pour warm milk with dissolved yeast into the flour. Add two eggs, salt, and softened butter. Knead the dough and add raisins. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for two hours.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 12 pieces, form balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover with a towel. Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.

Step 4

Mix the yolk with 1 tablespoon of milk, brush the surface of the balls with it. Make slight cross cuts on top with a knife coated in butter. Bake at 392°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 356°F and bake for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Dissolve the powdered sugar with one tablespoon of milk. Using a piping bag, apply a cross shape on the surface of the baked buns and let dry for 30–40 minutes (before applying the pattern, the buns should cool down; otherwise, the sugar glaze will run off).
