Ingredients

  • 240 g self-raising flour*
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 40 g caster sugar
  • 60 g unsalted butter cubed
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • Raspberry Jam
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C Fan
  • Lightly grease a baking tray
  • Place the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the cubes of butter and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips to form a breadcrumb like mixture.
  • Using a wooden spoon stir in the beaten egg and mix until a soft dough is formed.
  • Using your hands make balls of equal size from the dough mixture. Press a hole into the middle of each ball with a finger, put in a little jam (about ½ tsp) and pull the dough over the jam to close up the hole.
  • Slightly flatten each ball as you place them onto the baking tray leaving a little space apart for them to rise and brush with the milk.
  • Bake in the centre of oven for 10 – 15 minutes until cooked.
  • Place the buns on a wire rack and allow to cool completely to room temperature.
  • Store your raspberry buns in an airtight container and consume within 3 - 4 days.

Notes

*If you don't have self-raising flour you can combine 240g plain flour (all purpose flour) with 3 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
