Pain aux Raisins
Pain aux raisins is a classic French pastry that is perfect for Christmas brunch. It is made with a buttery brioche dough that is filled with raisins and custard, then rolled up and sliced into individual pastries. The pastries are then glazed with an egg wash and baked until golden brown. Pain aux raisins is best served warm, and it can be enjoyed plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
My grandma’s pro tip : Soak the raisins in brandy or rum for at least 30 minutes before using. This will plump them up and add flavor. (Don’t tell her i told you so **wink** )
