GOLDEN RAISIN BREAKFAST BUNS
These are lovely for breakfast, light and a bit different, with lemon icing and a texture similar to cream puffs. I really like these, as have others. I got the recipe many years ago from a church cookbook called Blessings.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Grease cookie sheets, or spray with non-stick spray.
- Plump the raisins by covering them with very hot water and letting them sit for 5 minutes; then drain them and put them on a paper towel to dry.
- Combine the water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then add the flour all at once.
- Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until you have a smooth, thick dough.
- Remove from the heat and beat for 2 minutes on low speed or by hand to cool it slightly.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until the mixture has a satiny sheen.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
- The buns should pretty much double in size, and be golden and firm.
- While the buns are baking, prepare the icing by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and blending until smooth and of spreading consistency.
- Add more cream if necessary.
- When the buns are done, place on a wire rack to cool and frost while still warm.
- This makes about 8-12 buns depending on the size you make them.

LEMON BUNS
These buns are the quintessential hot yeast bun -- but with an unexpected and refreshing jolt of lemon. The lemon elevates them beyond ordinary dinner rolls to something special. Tender and buttery, with a crisp, golden crust, they're distinctly and assertively lemon, but not sweet. This recipe was found on the King Aurthur Flour website. Posted for a request; I have not tried it.

Steps:
- ---Manual/MixerMethod---.
- Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.
- ---BreadMachine Method---.
- Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.
- When the machine has completed its cycle, set a timer for 30 minutes, and allow the dough to continue to rise; it may crest the top of the bucket, but shouldn't overflow.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
- Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
- While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
- Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
- Bake them in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
- Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
- Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: To ensure the best results, use active dry yeast and follow the instructions on the package for activation. Make sure the water is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and makes the buns light and fluffy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough rise quickly and evenly. You can place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in a warm oven or on top of the refrigerator.
- Do not over-mix the dough after adding the raisins: Over-mixing the dough after adding the raisins can make the buns tough. Gently fold the raisins into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
- Brush the buns with melted butter before baking: This will help the buns brown evenly and give them a golden crust.
- Frost the buns while they are still warm: This will help the frosting set and prevent it from becoming runny.
