Raisin cakes


Given the success of the cookies, I have included this new recipe that is also very simple. I hope you enjoy it as much as the previous one.


INGREDIENTS
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 packet of yeast
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • powdered sugar
  • 1 sprig of mint

DIRECTIONS

Soak raisins overnight in water. Preheat oven to 350º.

In a bowl mix the egg and sugar. Add the butter (softened) salt and milk slowly while continually beating the mixture.

Mix the flour and yeast. Add to the egg and sugar mixture.

Add the raisins being sure to remove any seeds and stems.

Pour the mixture into paper molds filling them to 2/3.

Bake at 350º in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Coat with powdered sugar.

Place the cakes on a plate around a bowl of raisins decorated with a sprig of mint to serve.
