The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Raisin Chelsea Buns:
  1. Take 1.75 Cup plain flour
  2. Get 1 teaspoon baking powder
  3. Prepare 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  4. Take 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. Take 40 grams butter
  6. Get 1.5 teaspoon dry yeast
  7. Prepare 200 ml warm milk
  8. Prepare 75 grams dark chocolate chopped

These gems are a sweet, festive take on regular cinnamon rolls. As a new variation I like to substitute pie cherries and white chocolate chips in place of the raisins. I've never had a Chelsea bun before but compared to a "sticky" bun these were airy buttery and lightly sweet. These sweet and fluffy buns are stuffed with raisins and Swiss chocolate balls.

Steps to make Chocolate Raisin Chelsea Buns:
  1. Sprinkle dry yeast over warm milk and leave it aside for 5 minutes
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon powder in a bowl. Rub in 25 grams of butter then stir in the yeast mixture and make the dough. Knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough lightly before rolling out to a rectangle. Melt the remaining butter and brush it over. Spread on top chopped chocolate and raisins evenly. Roll up tightly starting at the long edge. Cut into 12 equal slices.
  4. Place the cut slices on a greased baking tray. Cover and leave it aside for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Bake in preheated oven at 190 degree for 30 minutes. Brush it with maple syrup while it is still hot.
  6. Let it cool for 10 minutes and turn it out on a wire rack then leave it to cool. Separate the burns and serve warm.
