For Easter, thought I'd post my recipe, since I've tweaked it a bit from the origina one I used, including changing the measurements from metric to imperial!
Combine: 1 1/4 cup warm milk 1/4 cup white sugar 4 tsp yeast
Let that sit while you sift together: 3 cups flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp allspice 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Then rub in as though you were making pastry: 1/4 cup butter (cut into bits)
Add milk/yeast to flour mixture, along with: 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup candied orange peel, chopped
Knead 5 min, cover, and let double (45 min)
Punch down, cut in 12 pieces, roll into balls, and arrange in greased 9"x13" pan. Cover and let rise 15 min.
Combine: 1/2 cup flour 1/4+ cup water
Add more water as necessary to make a fairly thick paste, but not too thick to pipe.
Pipe crosses on the buns (I don't do it individually, it's basically a big grid that crosses all of them)
Bake 10 min at 400f, then drop the temperature to 350 and bake 15 min more.
Now, back to my regularly-scheduled room redecoration project.
