Ostara Hot Cross Buns
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups flour
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 oz of dry yeast
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp allspice
PREPARATION:
Mix all the ingredients except for the yeast and egg. In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup hot water. Add yeast and beaten egg to the flour mixture. Cover with a cloth and let the dough rise until double in size (about an hour).
Preheat your oven to 400F. Shape the dough into balls around 3-inches across and place in the oven on a lightly greased sheet. After 5 minutes, bring them out and cut a light cross in the tops of each bun. Put back in the oven and bake buns for another 15-20 minutes.
