It was easier to post a picture instead of typing it out.  Below I will type the changes I made.

Ingredients on the left are American.  Ingredients on the right are Canadian.

White flour*. In US, use Bread Flour; in Canada, use either Bread Flour or All-Purpose Flour.



I measured the full amount of milk (1 1/3 cups). Put about 1/3 cup from that into a pot to warm.

In a different cup I measured the sugar (1/3 cup).

When the milk was warm, I poured it into the pre-warmed kitchenaid bowl, added in the yeast and 2 tbs sugar (taken from the 1/3 cup).  Mixed.

After about 10 minutes I added in the flour, spices and remaining milk and turned on machine. When it was well mixed I added in the egg, remaining sugar and salt (or else I may have completely forgotten the salt....I'm not sure).

No idea how long I mixed that....it did not look right.....I added in the butter, which was cut pea size. Mixed that until it looked like a proper bun dough.

Took it out of the machine, onto a floured table and hand-kneaded the fruit into it. I used a mixture of glaced fruit and raisins. Wish I had the mixed peels...so much better.

Put it I to a greased bowl and covered with plastic wrap for an hour. It does not raise a lot because it's a heavy dough.  Shaped and let raise 30 minutes.

Cut the two cuts in top, brushed buns, and baked.

I'll post the recipe later.

Are you going to share?  I pretty sure my kids have never had them.

I am surprised that a bread machine recipe with very little change worked.

If I had not made several batches of hamburger buns previously I don't think it would have worked. The dough looks so wrong....but if. I just keep beating it....it turns into proper dough. And they actually turned out better than in the bread machine.

Yea!!!!  Holy cow!

SUCCESS!!!

DH used yeast yeaterday and oh man was it active.

Well....may have figured out the yeast problem. I remembered to warm the liquid, but forgot to add the sugar.

Yes a stand up mixer.

Google is not my friend. I have gone through all my recipe books, and none have what I want.  I am currently attempting a recipe that was for my bread machine. We'll see. I expect I may actually end up with something from a cow's bun. 

So far the yeast won't even proof. 

Anyway, I am definitely still interested in his recipe.

You mean a stand up mixer--right?  Not a bread machine?

DH will transcribe his--too late, but I bet you found a recipe to make.  His apparently rocked the house this morning at church. I asked him to leave a couple for me, but he forgot.  He texted to say he needed to make more "hot cows buns." 



Then the next text read "hot cross buns."

I'm trying to think of where else ethat substitution could be made and be hilarious.  I probably shouldn't on Easter. 


Okay--here's a spoiler for any who would be offended:
