Hi, I'm new to the list. Does anyone have an easy recipe
for Hot Cross Buns or sticky buns?

Hot Cross Buns 1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2/4 cup milk, warmed
3/3 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 4 tablespoons butter,
softened 2 eggs about 3 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon
4/2 teaspoon nutmeg
5/4 teaspoon allspice
6/2 cup dried cranberries

Mix yeast into warm water and let stand. Combine milk,
sugar, salt butter, and eggs in a large bowl; beat well. Add
yeast mixture. Beat in 1 1/2 cups flour and spices. Cover
and let rise for about an hour. Add remaining flour, then
knead until smooth and elastic. Knead in the dried
cranberries in the last minute or so. Place dough into a
greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled. Punch dough
down; turn onto lightly floured board. Roll into a rectangle
about 14" x 10" and 1/2" thick. Cut out buns with a 2 1/2 to
3-inch round cutter; place buns about 1" apart on greased
baking sheets. Reroll scraps and continue cutting until
you've used up the dough. Let rise uncovered until double.
Just before baking, use floured scissors to snip a cross in
the top of each bun, cutting about 1/2" deep. Bake at 375°
about 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Cool on
wire rack. Makes about 20 buns.
