Ingredients

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a small bowl, combine yeast and warm milk; let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
Add eggs, butter, and yeast mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry filling by combining raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened; cool completely.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 12 equal squares and place a tablespoon of raspberry filling in the center of each.
Fold the corners of each square toward the center and pinch to seal; arrange buns seam side down on a baking sheet.
Let the buns rise for 20 minutes, then preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over cooled buns.
