If I'm making them with raisins I normally add a bit of cinnamon.<br />They also work surprisingly well if You substitute the raisins for chocolate chips!!<br />My grandmother often did a plain version (no raisins) with a well in the middle filled with raspberry jam (in her old recipe book as 'The raspberry bun).
