    Need Hot Cross Bun Recipe

    Reply Contact

    I can't find my recipe for Hot Cross Buns and promised to make some for Easter!  I had one that I did in the bread machine.  Help! 

    I did a search on Recipes for Easter, but didn't see any.  Only other one that came up had a lot of kneading, which I don't do very well.....not very well, I just don't do it.  Thus, the bread machie.

    I've also posted this under "Recipes"
