Anyhow on with my Post.
So I was thinking today I'm really missing Hot Cross Buns, maybe this is why I'm not even thinking about Easter. But did get some Chocolate Bunnies yesterday when in town. I have already eaten a lot of Robin whopper Eggs....I have had my fill of those.
So on the Topic of Hot Cross Buns, I love them...some are better then others but really missing them today. The smell of them cooking when working at Thrifty Foods, or just walking into a grocery store in Canada (BC). I'm not sure if everyone in Canada have them, but forever I can remember eating them at Easter. Yummy. So I found a recipe, (I think I have tried to make HCB's before but they have never tasted like bought ones) and they are in the bread machine right now. Here's the recipe I found on line:

As I type the beeper on my bread machine goes off....have to run, to do the next step...portion into 12 balls...and get ready for the second rise....then time to bake. ps I added 1tsp Cinnamon ~ also I need new yeast so may have to make again...=)

"Infused with
cardamom spice, these taste as wonderful as they smell. These buns are
requested by family and friends every Easter and they are easy to make
in your bread machine!"
Ingredients:
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup water
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
|
1 egg
1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)
1/4 cup dried cherries (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
|
Directions:
| 1. | Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Place the flour, salt, sugar, cardamom, 1 1/4 cups of milk, butter and egg into the bread machine. Pour the yeast mixture on top. Close the lid and set the machine for the Dough setting. If using raisins, dried cherries or dried cranberries, add them at the beep. |
| 2. | When the dough has finished, divide into 12 portions and shape into balls. Place them into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. |
| 3. | Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Make frosting by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of milk and almond extract until smooth. When the buns are cool, drizzle frosting over them in a cross shape. |
