1
Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Place the yeast in the well, add 1 tsp of sugar and 1/2 cup warm milk. Stir in flour from the edge of the bowl and make a thick paste. Cover and keep in a warm place for about 15 mins.
2
Add the salt and the remaining sugar to the flour mixture, and stir in the remaining warm milk and the egg. Knead the mixture for about 3 mins in a mixer with the dough hook attachment, until the dough blisters. Finally, mix in the raisins. Cover the dough and keep warm for about 30 mins.
3
Heat the butter in a large pan. Fry the cakes in batches, 1 heaped tbsp of batter per cake, and flatten with the back of the spoon. Cook over low to medium heat, turning, for 4-5 mins. Keep the cooked Struwen warm while cooking the rest. Serve, dusted with powdered sugar.
