Mix 1 cup of berry marmalade with 1/4 cup of raisins and 1/4 cup of softened butter in a bowl to create the filling.

Prepare the custard filling by mixing vanilla instant pudding powder with 2 cups of cold milk and chill until firm.

Slice one side of the brioche buns open and fill one side with the marmalade filling and the other side with the pudding filling.

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 pieces of piloncillo, allspice, and cloves to make the syrup, simmering for about 20 minutes.

Separate 4 egg whites and beat until stiff, then incorporate the yolks until just combined to create the egg batter.

Dip the filled brioche buns into the egg batter and fry in a small saucepan with a bit of oil over medium heat, working one at a time.

Transfer the fried buns to a deeper pan and pour the spiced syrup over them, topping each with a raisin.
