Molasses Raisin Buns–Old-Time Treat
If you’re looking for a real old-fashioned treat for Christmas, these molasses raisin buns are just what you’re looking for.
They have a real old-fashioned flavor from the molasses. That’s a deep rich flavor which we’ve gotten away from lately. Molasses used to be used so much more years ago and I really don’t know why it seemed to fall out of favor as an ingredient. Sure, it’s used in gingerbread and all, but it was a more common ingredient not so long ago.
