Hot Cross Buns...

Chuck brought me home a recipe and cooking conversion chart for Hot Cross Buns from Dilly's Mum. He insists that I make them right away, but I will save them for Easter.

I remember a little song from childhood about hot cross buns and it has been running through my head; it goes like this:

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,

One a penny, two a penny,

Hot cross buns.

If you have no daughters,

give them to your sons;

One a penny, two a penny,

Hot cross buns.

Ingredients:

4 tsp dried yeast, 55g caster sugar, 250ml warm milk, 600g plain flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 60g butter, 1 egg lightly beaten, 125ml warm water, 110g currants, 40g mixed peel, 1 tlb apricot jam.

I will let you know how they turn out. :o)
