Kitchen of Kiki: Christmas Calendar 2017 - Kløben buns with pickled ginger

Since I was a little girl I have been loving to eat buns with a combinations of raisins, orange peel and sucat. I have made a few modification to this recipe on kløben buns in form of addition of vanilla sugar and finely chopped pickled ginger.

I have also changed the raising method from cold and long time raising to warn and shorter raising time.

6. Knead the butter, orange peel, sucat and raisins into the dough.
