Quick Hot Cross Buns
This is a good and simple recipe, and quicker than the traditional one which is made with a "sponge." You may leave out the candied peel if you don’t like it. One pound flour, 34 oz. yeast, 1 level teaspoon powdered cinnamon, 2 oz. mixed candied peel, 2 oz. sultanas, pinch salt, 2 tablespoons castor sugar, 1 teaspoon mixed spice, 2 oz. butter, 2 oz. currants, 1% pint milk, 1 egg. Sift flour with salt and spice, rub in butter and add prepared fruit and sugar, keeping back a teaspoon of sugar to mix with yeast. Mix sugar and yeast till liquid, then stir in lukewarm milk. Strain this mixture into centre of dry ingredients, make into soft dough, adding also beaten egg. Divide into small portions, shape into buns, put on greased slide. Mark with a cross, leave to rise until twice the size. Bake in hot oven, brush over with sugar and milk, and return to oven for a minute or two.
