Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To test, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water and add 1 teaspoon of yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will foam up.
- If you don't have raisins, you can substitute with cranberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips.
- Let the buns cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent the fillings from oozing out.
