Wholemeal Raisin Buns

These are really very tasty, and if made with either less sugar or a sugar substitute, could be a rather 'sort of healthy' breakfast snack.  

Wholemeal Raisin Buns

2⅓ cup wholemeal self-raising flour

pinch salt

115g butter

⅔ cup sugar

⅔ cup raisins

⅔ cup chopped nuts

2 eggs

⅓ cup milk

Pre-heat oven to 180°C

Sift flour and salt, tipping the meal from the sieve into the mixture once done. Rub butter into flour until crumbly. Add the sugar, raisins and nuts. Beat the eggs with the milk, and add to flour mixture. You may need to add a little more milk if mixture seems dry, a little sticky is OK. Take a portion of dough, around the size of a large egg, and roll it until ‘bun-shaped’, then place onto lightly greased, cold baking tray. 

Cook for 15-20 minutes.
