Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

Mix flour with sugar, yeast and salt. Blend in milk, butter and eggs using an electric mixer. Beat for 4 minutes. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead in raisins, adding as little flour as possible, for 3 to 5 minutes to make a sticky dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Using as little flour as possible, roll out dough into a large rectangle about 1/2-in (1 cm) thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Gently roll widthwise into a thick cylinder.

Slice into 8 pieces. Arrange 6 pieces cut side up in a buttered 9 x 13-in (23 x 33 cm) baking pan and 2 pieces in a buttered 9 x 5-in (13 x 23 cm) loaf pan.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan for 15 minutes.

Icing:

Stir icing sugar with lemon juice and butter until very smooth. Add up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more lemon juice if needed to make icing fluid enough to drizzle. Transfer to a small plastic bag and cut one of the corners of the bag. Drizzle icing over buns.

Tips

* To replace Break-Free Liquid Eggs with whole eggs, please consult the conversion chart on the manufacturer's Web site:www.burnbraefarms.com

** Realemon Lemon Juice can be replaced with an equal quantity of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
