I love Hot Cross Buns.
I have been buying them all lent but really would like to try making my own.
Last year I tried a couple of different recipes. One was okay, the other was a disaster. I thought I would ask here and see if any of you have a favourite recipe for them.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

Therese-I don't have one, but if you find a good one, please let us know!
I love them too, but my family never saw anything special about them so I quit making them. I have several recipes, but I think you should find good ones on line also.
Good luck.
I wish I could help, but I always purchased mine, too. Good day to you! Cathy
Wow - what a coincidence! I was just thinking I'd make some. I am not personally fond of the "real" recipe, so thought I'd try it with just a raisin bread recipe...none of those other dried fruits.
I tagged you at my blog. Happy Holy Thursday!
Therese,
Just ran across a recipe here:

I think I'll try them for breakfast tomorrow.
