Makes 24 hot cross buns
2/3 cup lowfat warm buttermilk (105–115 degrees)
1/3 cup fat-free half-and-half
1/4 cup SPLENDA sweetener
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached white flour (possibly a tablespoon or two more)
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon fat-free sour cream
1 large egg
2 tablespoons egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
5 teaspoons bread machine, rapid rise, or active dry yeast (2 1/4-ounce packets)
1/2 cup dried currants or raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries (or any other dried or candied fruit — if bigger than dried cranberries, finely chop the fruit)
2 teaspoons finely chopped orange zest
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemon zest
Vanilla-cinnamon glaze (optional):
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 cup lemon curd (or 1/2 cup white decorator's tube frosting)
Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order listed up to yeast. Make a well in the flour mixture in pan and then add the yeast.
Set bread machine to DOUGH cycle (usually 1 hour and 40 minutes) and press START. If the dough looks a little too sticky, add a tablespoon more flour.
After about 10 minutes add in the currants or raisins, dried cranberries, orange and lemon zest.
When the timer goes off, remove the dough to a well-floured cutting board. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 15-inch log. Cut each log into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball and arrange in two 9 x 13-inch baking dishes. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bake until nicely browned, about 18 minutes. While buns are baking, blend the glaze ingredients together in 4-cup measure until smooth. Once buns have cooled slightly, spoon glaze evenly over the top of the warm buns if desired.
Add lemon curd or white decorator's tube frosting to a decorator's bag with a round tip and pipe a cross over the top of each bun. Serve warm or cool.

Hot Cross Buns are a traditional favorite for Good Friday, Easter, and throughout the Lent season, but they are enjoyable year-round. Yeasty rolls are filled with currants or raisins and nuts, then topped with a cross of icing. In spite of the raisins and icing, these are not sweet rolls. The hazelnuts are optional.
INGREDIENTS:
3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2/3 cup currants or raisins
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (filberts) (optional)
1 slightly beaten egg white
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur or milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Milk
PREPARATION:
In a large mixing bowl combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the yeast, and cinnamon. In a small saucepan heat and stir 3/4 cup milk, the oil, granulated sugar, and salt until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F).
