Ingredients

    1 envelope active dry yeast
    2 tbsp lukewarm water
    1/2 cup lukewarm fat-free milk
    1 large egg
    2 tsp unsalted butter, melted
    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    3 tbsp granulated sugar
    1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup dark raisins
    2 tsp fat-free milk
    1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp warm wate

Directions

In a small bowl sprinkle the yeast over the water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, egg and butter. In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. With the machine running, scrape the yeast mixture and milk mixture through the feed tube until the dough forms a ball.
Knead the dough by pulsing until smooth and no longer sticky, about 30 times.

Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray; place the dough in the bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft free place until it doubles in volume, 30-45 minutes

Spray an 8" cake pan with non-stick spray. Punch down the dough; lightly sprinkle a work surface with flour.

Turn out the dough; knead in the raisins and divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece of dough into an 8" rope, then coil the ropes into buns. Place the buns in the pan; cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let them rise until doubled in volume, 35-40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Brush the tops of the buns with the milk. Bake in the center oven rack until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and warm water. Spread over the buns as soon as you remove them from the oven. Serve warm.
