Well-known member

There is one Gay posted before (recipe inside)

Here is one posted by JudyW at Epi in 2001:

Note from Dawn - I don't see where you have to wait overnight for these to rise, but in any case, I have also had good luck with using a regular bread recipe (such as Krusteeze) and rolling it up, slicing, and baking as above.

 
Oops, meant to say that it was from Southern Living (Gay's) but is no longer at that website. Maybe

someone else has the magazine? I see the website is only for subscribers or AOL members.

If you'd *like* to have great luck with Hot Cross Buns ...

There is a foolproof excellent recipe in The Bread Book by Linda Collister and Anthony Blake. I can post the recipe if you like. I make these every year and actually worry that they're too perfect, people won't believe I made them!
