Ingredients:
- 24 g of fresh baker's yeast, 1 sachet of 8 g dehydrated baker's yeast
- 100 g of powdered sugar

- 50 g of soft butter
- 1 egg
- 200 g raisins

Steps:
1/ Dissolve yeast with 2 teaspoons of sugar and warm milk, then let rise 10 minutes.
3/ Knead the dough by hand, on a floured surface, for several minutes or by the robot, in order to obtain an elastic paste that no longer sticks to the fingers.

6/ Do not squeeze the balls of pasta against each other, space them a little because they are still inflated to stick themselves to each other. Let rise, covering with a clean cloth, in a warm place for another 30 minutes. (The balls must then stand to each other).
7/ Preheat your oven to 200°C.
8/ In a bowl, mix the flour and water to obtain a smooth dough (add a little flour if it is too liquid). Using a piping bag, draw a cross on each ball.
10/ Brush with frosting. To do this, stir over very low heat and stirring the sugar and the water. When the sugar is well melted and this syrup is transparent, add a sheet of gelatin food that you will soak for 5 to 10 minutes in cold water.

12/ Serve hot.
