Easter pudding with raisins

Description

Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. The recipe is based on sweet yeast dough, to which you can add any spices, dried fruits, candied fruits, or nuts. You can shape the paska in any form—large or small cupcakes, round, or as a loaf. Paska is typically decorated with icing, less commonly with chocolate or dough.
