Cinnamon Raisin Buns

These buns adapted to TMX from Woks of life Blog are lovely.  They are not too sweet and are quite versatile with the  small amount of filling. As I am pushed for time at the moment I will just print the adapted recipe. Please consult the original Blog for folding these buns. You could use the basic dough for coffee scrolls and similar. These ingredients made 13 large buns , 10 cm across. I would make half next time and make 9 or 10 buns.

1  1/2 cups of warm milk, plus 1 dessert spoon
