    I don't know if it's because I live in Toledo, Ohio or if I have just lived a sheltered life, but I have never had tea buns. They look like a cross between scones and southern biscuits. They have earned a spot on my to-do list! Thanks for sharing them!

      Hi David: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting my channel, these tea buns are pretty much the same as a scone and a southern biscuits. Some cultural foods are the same but different names. They are so quick and easy to make and its hard to only have one, thanks again for your message. Bonita

    Here's a hint for those with arthritic hands and find it difficult to rub in the butter in the flour: I freeze my butter and right when it is time to add the butter, I grate it with a box grater (large holes) and then just stir it into the flour. It's easier for me to add the raisins before the liquid. This recipe is the same as mind and I love it!

    • @vh2337
      @vh2337 3 года назад +2

      I do the same because of bad arthritis fingers but instead of using the box grater which is difficult for me, I use the shredding attachment on my food processor. Takes about 5 seconds and no stress on my fingers. The only negative is cleaning up the butter off the attachment but some nice hot water does the trick.

    I like the way you bake. You remind me of a baker I knew as a child. He had his own bakery and everything was delicious. He did have some equipment to help him mix, but he used his hands a lot. To me, that makes things taste better. One question about the butter: would you suggest putting it in the freezer about half an hour before it is needed?
    What about using brown or washed raw sugar?
    I live in the Philippines and white sugar is very expensive since it must be processed. Brown sugar here still has some molasses in it. Washed raw sugar is basically removing everything which was squeezed out of the cane except the sugar. It's more expensive than just plane brown sugar, but still not as expensive as white sugar.

      Hi and thank you for your message, you can use raw sugar, organic or light brown, it will still turn out amazing. I'm glad you enjoy my style of baking, when I was a very young girl I worked in a small bakery and everything was made by hand we started work at 5am and work till 5pm. I have many years of experience and I still love baking and cooking, have a Merry Christmas :) Bonita

    Add your raisins to the milk/egg mixture before you do anything else. This gives the raisins time to absorb some of the liquid and "plump up".

      Hi and thank you so much for your message and for stopping by. These tea buns are a very easy recipe and I'm not sure why this happened. Sometimes if the baking powder is old it may stop it from rising. Try it again and just notice if the texture of the batter is soft and a little frizzy. This would be good! Also you can adjust the temperture to 375ºf and make use you preheat the oven first. Let me know how it goes. :) Bonita

    Hi Bonita, I LOVE THESE!!!!
    I've definitely had these at a bakery & they were a tiny bit larger & they had the nerve to charge $1.25 + for each ONE! Not to mention they were over baked & too dry that you would choke on it. I've been cooking & baking from a very early age. ( I was 10 going on 25 lol)
    I do have a few questions.
    Would these be considered a scone? I know the ingredients are almost the same depending on what recipe you would use. (i.e.. scones you're adding buttermilk or regular milk or cream & adding baking soda & powder & raisins or blueberries etc. lol )
    Just asking your opinion. Love watching your channel. The Raisin Molasses bread you made in another recipe...why AREN'T the loaves all in one size instead of three different ball shapes? Would it not have the same crumb or would it not turn out quite the same? Also, I'm a huge lover of cinnamon...Could it be added to the rasin molasses bread? Sorry for so many questions. Hugs from the USA,
    ~ Anita 💜🍞🥖🥨🥧

      Hi Karen, Thank you for your message and for stopping by. I'm so glad you made our tea buns recipe. So many different ovens, gas, burners, oil, CONVECTION OR CONVENTIONAL OVENS. It is so tricky to know what type our viewers are using. Usually I would say in the middle rack to be safe because that would give equal heat. But in the convectional ovens you need to set the oven to bake even top and bottom, with mine I need to touch the start button twice to use both burners.... . So I'm thinking you may need to experiment on this one. The next time you make them try a different rack and use the same heat and time. I'm still trying to get use to my oven and I've had it for 5 years. Please follow up and let me know what worked for you. Enjoy and thank you. :) Bonita
