WHAT WE'RE BAKING? HOT CROSS BUNS with dōTERRA Essential Oil

Hot cross buns! 
Hot cross buns! 
One a penny, two a penny, 
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons;
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

Traditionally, these are served in the UK on Good Friday, but my son's classical academy is doing the rhyme in Kindergarten so I made them to bring to all the Kindergarteners today. It's a good thing I'm gluten free, because I would have eaten a lot of them. Also traditionally these are made with currents but here in the States, currents aren't common. So just use Craisins or raisins.

Mix in a bowl and allow to proof for 5 minutes:
3/4 C warm water
3 T butter
1 T yeast
1 T instant powdered milk
1/4 C sugar
1/4 t sea salt

Add and mix well:
1 egg
1 egg white
3 C flour

Stir in:
1 t cinnamon
3/4 C dried currants, raisins or Craisins (after microwaving in bowl for 45 seconds to plump them up)

Knead for approx 8 minutes.

Cover and place in warm area, like by a stove/oven for 1 hour or until doubled.

Shape into 12 balls and place on season stone or greased baking dish. Cover and rise 45 minutes.

Mix 1 egg yolk & 2 T water. Brush on top of risen rolls.

Bake preheated oven 375° for 20 minutes or until starting to brown on top.

Cool on wire racks, completely.

For icing, mix:
1/2 C powdered sugar
1/4 t vanilla
2 t milk
1 drop dōTERRA Lemon essential oil

Pipe an X of icing onto the tops of each bun when the buns are completely cooled.
