Place the ball of dough on to a floured board and with you hand press slightly to flatten the dough and then divide into eight pieces.



Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly on the floured board.


Place a teaspoonful of raspberry jam in the center of each bun.



Gather up the outer edges to enclose the jam then carefully turn each bun upside down and place on the baking tray. Gently flatten the buns and brush with milk and sprinkle liberally with the caster sugar.
