HOT CROSS BUNS
Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet (quarter baking sheet) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- For the buns: Combine the raisins with the hot water and set aside so the raisins rehydrate and plump.
- Add the milk to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk in the yeast to dissolve. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, softened butter, eggs and yolk and orange zest. Stir to combine.
- Using the dough hook, knead for 7 minutes on medium-low speed. Increase speed to medium and knead until the dough is translucent when a small bit is stretched out with your fingers, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Drain the raisins and add them to the bowl along with the apple and knead until the dough is soft and elastic and the raisins and apple are evenly dispersed, about 2 minutes longer.
- Lightly butter a large glass bowl. Scrape the dough into the bowl and cover with either plastic wrap or a clean dish cloth. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour. It will become puffy, but it's ok if it doesn't double in size.
- Remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 15 parts. Using floured hands, form each part into a ball. Due to the raisins and apple, the ball won't be completely smooth, but that's ok. Add each ball to the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and allow the buns to rise a second time until they're touching and look bloated and puffy, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the paste: Whisk together the flour and water in a small bowl until there are no lump. Spoon the paste into a piping bag fitted with a plain small to medium tip. (The batter will be runny.) Pipe a cross on each bun.
- Bake until the buns are golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
- For the honey butter: While the buns are baking, stir the melted butter and honey together in a small bowl. Once the buns are golden brown, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with the honey butter.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper or baking mat and transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely (or enjoy warm, if you're like me and you can't wait!).

HOT CROSS BUNS
One a penny, two a penny...This is my family's traditional recipe; we use mashed potatoes to change the texture and flavor. I don't care for citron (candied fruit), so I make my HCB with raisins alone.

HOT CROSS BUNS
Shhh don't tell Mom I have posted the secret recipe here. I will be in the doghouse, she doesn't share this with anyone but I feel more people should be trying these. They are the best, far out does my grandma's and my aunts. Mom donates a pan of these for the local 4-H Cake Bingo every Easter. Someone should have kept track over the last 20 some years how much her buns have raised for the club.. Follow Instructions carefully. Time does not include resting rising time.

HOT CROSS BUNS
These small yeast buns, freckled with currants or raisins, and sometimes fruit and nuts, are traditionally served on Good Friday. They are slashed with a cross just before baking and the cross is filled with icing after they've cooled. I usually make them and freeze them unfrosted, ahead of time. Then on Easter morning I warm them in the oven and frost them for breakfast or brunch.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat milk to very warm, but not hot (110°F if using a candy thermometer). Fit an electric mixer with a dough hook. Pour warm milk in the bowl of mixer and sprinkle yeast over. Mix to dissolve and let sit for 5 minutes.
- With mixer running at low speed, add sugar, salt, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs. Gradually add flour, dough will be wet and sticky, and continue kneading with dough hook until smooth, about 5 minutes. Detach bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let the dough "rest" for 30-45 minutes.
- Return bowl to mixer and knead until smooth and elastic, for about 3 more minutes. Add currants or raisins and knead until well mixed. At this point, dough will still be fairly wet and sticky. Shape dough in a ball, place in a buttered dish, cover with plastic wrap and let rise overnight in the refrigerator (see note at right if you're in a hurry). Excess moisture will be absorbed by the morning.
- Let dough sit at room temperature for about a half-hour. Line a large baking pan (or pans) with parchment paper (you could also lightly grease a baking pan, but parchment works better). Divide dough into 24 equal pieces (in half, half again, etc., etc.). Shape each portion into a ball and place on baking sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- In the meantime, pre-heat oven to 400° F.
- When buns have risen, take a sharp or serrated knife and carefully slash buns with a cross. Brush them with egg white and place in oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° F, then Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together glaze ingredients, and spoon over buns in a cross pattern. Serve warm, if possible.
