“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt and spices in a large
mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, heat milk and butter to very warm
(120 to 130ø). Add to flour. Beat on medium speed of mixer for 1
minute. Add eggs. Beat another minute. Stir in currants, orange peel
and enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough
out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic,
about 5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed. Place in a
buttered bowl, turning to butter top. Cover; let rise in warm place
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; turn onto
lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; divide each half into
9 pieces. Form each piece into a smooth round ball. Place balls of
dough in two buttered 8-inch square baking pans. Cover; let rise in
warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Brush
lightly with egg yolk mixture. Bake rolls in preheated 375ø oven, 20
to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans. Cool on wire
rack. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting. Drizzle frosting across the top
of each bun in the shape of a cross. Makes 18 buns. CREAM CHEESE
FROSTING: Beat cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Add up
to 1 teaspoon of milk for drizzling consistency.
Note: Hot cross buns are a traditional Easter food. You can bake them
in advance and freeze unfrosted. When ready to serve, reheat
foil-wrapped buns in a 325ø oven. Drizzle cream cheese frosting in
the shape of a cross over the buns after reheating.
