Cooking

Step 1

Prepare raisins for stuffing buns. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Pour in liqueur, rum or cognac. Leave for 2 hours.

Prepare the bun dough. Sift flour with salt and cornstarch into a bowl. Add sugar, yeast and stir. Pour in warm milk and water. Stir again.

Cut the butter for the bun dough with a knife or cut into very small cubes. Add to flour mixture. Knead the dough thoroughly. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.

Step 4

Chop the chocolate for the bun filling. Squeeze the soaked raisins lightly. Add the prepared ingredients to the dough. Knead thoroughly and leave for 15 minutes in a warm place.

Step 5

Place the dough on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Shape into round buns and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, 2 cm apart. Cover with a towel and leave for 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 180°C. Brush the buns with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool. For glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and egg white. Pour the mixture over the buns and let cool.
