## Ingredients

- 0.75 cup warm water
- 2.25 tsp dry active yeast

- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp brown sugar divided
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
- cornmeal

## Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup warm water, 2 ¼ tsp yeast, and 1 tbsp of the brown sugar.
2. Let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
3. Add all other ingredients: ¾ cup warm milk, 3 tbsp melted butter, 3 cups all purpose flour, ½ tsp salt, remaining 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 1 cup raisins.
4. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
5. Transfer dough onto a floured surface and gently work with your hands to bring the dough together and form a dough ball.
6. Add more flour as needed if too sticky, or 1 tbsp warm water at a time if too crumbly and dry.
7. Transfer dough to the same large mixing bowl, lightly oiled.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm area for about 1 hour, until double in size.
9. Divide dough into 8-9 equal pieces.
10. Lightly flour the sections and your hands as you fold and pinch into a secure ball.
11. Arrange dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise another 30 minutes.
12. Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium heat.
13. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of corn meal before pan frying for 1-2 minutes each side, until a golden brown crust forms.
14. Bake at 350 F for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through.
