Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 100 grams (4 ounces) raspberries
Dry Ingredients:
- 225 grams (8 ounces) self-raising flour
- 100 grams (4 ounces) caster sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 100 grams (4 ounces) softened butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200°C and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper for optimal non-stick surface.
- Combine flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Incorporate cold butter into the flour mixture using fingertips, creating a crumbly texture resembling coarse breadcrumbs.
- Whisk egg and milk together, then gradually pour into dry ingredients to form a soft, cohesive dough.
- Carefully fold fresh raspberries into the dough, gently folding to prevent crushing the delicate fruit.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a round bun with light, gentle movements.
- Arrange buns on the prepared tray, leaving slight spacing between each to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow buns to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Finish by dusting the cooled buns with a light layer of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Swap fresh raspberries with frozen ones directly from the freezer to prevent color bleeding and maintain texture.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with almond or gluten-free blend for sensitive diets.
- Handle raspberries gently during folding to keep them whole and prevent mushing throughout the dough.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or cutting amount by one-third for a less sweet, more fruit-forward bun.
