I had never made these before. I'd only heard how amazing they were. Evidently, they're more readily available in the midwest/east coast area. I had never seen them before out here. I figured I'd give them a try and I LOVED THEM!! And with them being made in the bread machine, they're super easy.
3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon instant powdered milk
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, 2 separated
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup dried currants
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
Frosting:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons milk
Put warm water, melted butter, skim milk powder, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, egg, egg white in the machine first, then add flour, and yeast in bread maker and start on dough program.
When 5 minutes of kneading are left, add currants and cinnamon (my machine beeps when 5 minutes is remaining, so it makes it easy to remember). Leave in machine till double.
Punch down on floured surface, cover, and let rest 10 minutes.
Shape into 12 balls and place in a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double, about 35-40 minutes. Depending on the temperature, it can take longer.
Mix egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water. Brush on balls.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.
To make crosses: mix together confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and milk. Brush an X on each cooled bun. I do the mixing in a ziplock bag. I sqeeze and mush it around until it's all combined. I snip the corner off and squeeze on the crosses.
