    Title: Spiced Fruited Hot Cross Buns
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 36 Rolls

    1/2 oz (2 env) active dry yeast
    2 c Warm milk; (105┬║F/40┬║C)
    6 tb Butter, softened
    2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
    3/4 c Sugar
    1 ts Salt
    6 1/2 c A-P flour
    1 c Chop'd, mixed, candied fruit
    2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1 Egg yolk
    2 tb Water

    MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
    1 1/4 c Confectioners' sugar
    2 tb Milk
    1 tb Butter; melted
    1/4 ts Vanilla extract

    In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Stir in
    the butter, eggs, sugar and salt. Combine 3 cups flour,
    candied fruit and cinnamon; add to yeast mixture and mix
    well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
    dough.

    Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and
    elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl,
    turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm
    place until doubled, about 1 hour.

    Punch dough down; shape into 2" balls. Place 2" apart on
    greased baking sheets. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross
    on top of each bun. Cover and let rise until doubled,
    about 30 minutes.

    Beat egg yolk and water; brush over buns. Bake @
    350┬║F/175┬║C for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
    Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Combine icing
    ingredients; pipe an "X" on top of each bun.
