Here is a hot cross bun recipe that I found in an old cookbook and adapted to the breadmaker. Very easy and good. Hot Cross Buns (for breadmaker) 3/4 cup warm water 3 Tbsp. butter 1 Tbsp. skim milk powder 1/4 cup sugar 3/8 tsp. salt 1 egg + 1 egg white 3 cups flour 1 Tbsp. yeast Put ingredients in bread maker and start on dough program. When 5 minutes of kneading are left, add 3/4 cup currants and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Leave in machine till double. Punch down on floured surface, cover, and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into 12 balls and place in a greased 9 x 12 inch pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double, about 35-40 minutes. Mix 1 egg yolk and 2 Tbsp. water. Brush on balls. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack. Make crosses with: 1/2 cup icing sugar 1/4 tsp. vanilla 1/2 - 1 Tbsp. milk.
