One a penny . . Hot Crossed Buns

Wanting for wisdom
My wife and I had most of the relatives last weekend. Even though it is just her and I here this weekend I wanted to do a little something to celebrate Easter No candied peels in the house so I needed to make some from scratch . . . including eating two clementines to get the peels. I'm saving the lemon and the citrus simple syrup that was made in the process for lemon chicken at a later date.

I cut the crosses into the dough after they had risen. Drizzled in a little flour and water. With the vanilla sugar glaze they really didn't need icing. I used Anna Olsen's recipe which you can find online.
 
Very nice! I made hot cross buns, also, for Good Friday. They were yummy. I couldn't find candied rind either so made it. Much better than store bought and easy to make too.
 
Those look really nice Mike!

Candied rinds are probably back in storage to be brought out again before next Christmas.
