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.

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.

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.  :misspeak:

So far the yeast won't even proof.  :insane:

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." 

:rofl:

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:
