How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease two large cookie sheets.
  • Measure the raisins into a bowl and pour boiling water over to cover. Let soak 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt and the egg.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir well until everything is blended.
  • Drain the raisins and add to the dough, mixing well – the dough will be quite soft and sticky.
  • Sprinkle some additional flour onto work surface and turn the dough out.
  • Knead the dough about 5 minutes, and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  • Working with one lump of dough at a time, roll it out into an even rope about ½ inch thick. Twist it into a pretzel and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining lumps of dough.
  • Stir together the cinnamon and sugar and melt the butter in a small dish.
  • Brush each pretzel with some butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

    They keep in the frig for about a week or so but you can freeze them very well for a fair few months.

    These sound awesome! How well do they keep? I'd love to give some for Xmas, but if they're only good for a day or so, I doubt that'll work.
