How to Make Lemon Frosted Golden Raisin Buns

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
  4. Remove from heat and beat for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
  5. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth and satiny.
  6. Stir in 1 cup golden raisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While buns are still warm, frost with Lemon Frosting (recipe below).
  11. **Lemon Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Beat until light and fluffy.
