Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp instant yeast
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
1/3 cup warm milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
½ cup raisins
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and knead in the raisins.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns and serve.
