Herman Biscuits And Raisin Bread

Ingredients:
– 1 cup raisins
– 1 cup water
– 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup butter, softened
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.

4. Add the yeast mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix well.

5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.

6. Gently fold in the cooled raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.

8. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

10. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, slightly apart from each other.

11. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.

12. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

13. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits.

14. Allow the Herman Biscuits and Raisin Bread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, fragrant aroma and tender texture as you savor each bite.
