Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the milk.
2
Mix together flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a bowl.
3
Add the butter and milk mixture (make sure it is just below 37 degrees celcius by pouring a drop over your wrist. If it feels hotter than your skin, allow it to cool a little longer). Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes.
4
Mix in raisins towards the end of the kneading.
5
Shape the dough into a large sausage and divide into approximately equal parts. Knead each part into round buns and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
6
Let the buns rise while covered with a kitchen towel for about 1.5-2 hours.
7
Bake the buns in the middle of the oven at 200 degrees celsius for about 15-20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
