Hot Cross Buns

[lonewolf]

Has anyone ever made hot cross buns successfully? I tried doing a search and didn't come up with anything.

I haven't tried these myself but I did a chocolate cake from their site and it was brilliant.

Bette Hagman has a recipe for Hot Cross Buns in her "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods." I haven't tried it, nor do I ever remember having these buns, so I can't vouch for it personally.

Barring actually making them, Kinnikinnik has some for sale, and they are amazing! My dw surprised me with them for Easter! Bette Hageman's recepie looks good too though.

I found this recipe off of some website, but I honestly can't remember which one. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked pretty good to me. Bette Hagman's didn't look as appealing to me since I don't really like bean flours that much. Plus, I LOVE almond extract, so adding a bit of that to the icing sounds very tasty. (If this post comes up with a lot of questions marks, ignore them. I copied this from another program.)
