Hot Cross Buns for Good Friday

I tried something new today---making Hot Cross Buns.  I tried an "easy" version I clipped out of a Home Life Magazine from April 2009.  Hot Cross Buns have been traditionally eaten on Good Friday for several centuries.  There are superstions tied to the buns, but today they served to remind us of what Christ did for us on the cross. 

 

 

Waiting for the rolls to rise...

Those little specks are cinnamon.  I left out the raisins and nuts.  That is more of the traditional recipe--but I wanted my kids to eat them! 

My family really enjoyed them--and I think I'll have enough for the whole weekend. 


Have a Blessed "Good Friday"!
