Ingredients
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (105°-115° F)
1/4 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3-3 1/2 cups flour
1 egg currants or dark raisins
Glaze
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Directions
1 Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt to warm (105°-115°F).
2 Combine 2 cups flour, yeast mixture, milk mixture, and 1 egg in bowl. Mix thoroughly.
3 Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth€”about 10 minutes.
4 Place in greased bowl, turning to coat top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double€”about 1 hour.
5 Punch down dough. Divide into 12 equal balls about 2 1/2 inches across. Cut each ball in half. Flatten one of the halves and shape into an oval for the body. Divide the other half of dough in two; make a round ball for head. With remaining dough make pencillike ropes 4 inches long. Cut in half for 2 arms. Press head and arms to body. (There are no legs.) Press raisins or currants deeply in place for the eyes and nose.
6 Let rise in warm place until double€”about 30 minutes. Make glaze and brush on buns.
7 Bake in a preheated 350°F oven about 15€”20 minutes or until done. Cool on wire rack.
