Cinnamon Almond Raisin Twists

I love almond butter and baking with it is such fun. Apart from the fact that its really easy to bake with, and the taste that almond butter imparts to the baked product, its also a great and healthy alternative to butter. Last summer I baked Almond Butter Oats Cookies and they turned out delicious. Since then I have done a lot of baking and cooking using almond butter and been very happy with both the taste and quality of the product.

Daring Cooks December 2011: Asian Style Spicy Filled Buns

Wonderful challenge which I was delighted to complete. My version was of course vegetarian, where I substituted the egg in the dough with an appropriate amount of buttermilk, and we loved the results. Not able to upload photos as am on the road. Am back at my desk and here are the photographs of this challenge. I did this challenge twice. The first time I used all purpose flour and the second a combination of all purpose and whole wheat flour. The second time the buns came out much better!!
