This was in my newspaper clippings stash, and thought some of you may enjoy the non-cloying recipe! And every muffin gets a crunchy outer layer!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins or currants shopping list
- 2 cups whole wheat flour shopping list
- 2 pkgs. active dry yeast shopping list
- 1 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 cup very hot water shopping list
- 1 cup milk shopping list
- 1/3 cup honey shopping list
- 1/3 cup margarine or butter shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 2- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon--my "tweak" shopping list
- glaze shopping list
- 3 Table. honey shopping list
- 3 Table. butter or oleo shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- In large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, 2 T. cinnamon, yeast and salt; set aside. Cover raisins with water for 1 minute, drain.
- In small saucepan, heat milk, honey and butter until very warm(120 to 130 degrees); stir into flour mixture. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, and stir in drained raisins Stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups all purpose flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
- On floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 1 1/4 cups all purp. flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees) *until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Grease 24 muffin cups. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough into 24 pieces. (cover dough pieces with inverted bowl to prevent drying out.) Using 1 piece of dough at a time, roll to form 10 to 12 inch rope. Coil rope in a muffin cup tucking end into top center to form beehive shape. Repeat with remaining pieces. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven, 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pan, place on wire racks. In a small saucepan, heat 3 Tablespoons honey and 3 Table. butter. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm buns.
- * The intellectual cook (Brown)on hgtv suggests an easy draft-free set-up: Place a bowl (I use 2 quart) filled with boiling water inside the oven with the to-be -rised dough and close the oven door. (Don't turn on the oven) It works!!
