It's nice to see some non-Saveur recipes on here again! I was ready to give up on this site.
Hot Cross Buns
Traditionally eaten on Good Friday and decorated with a cross to symbolize the Crucifixion, hot cross buns are made with sweet yeast dough and studded with dried fruit. We love to eat ours straight out of the oven, slathered with butter.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
Hot cross buns are traditionally made in the upcoming weeks to Good Friday as part of the celebration for Easter and they seem to pop up at around the start of March in bakeries. They are aromatically spicy, full of delicious dried fruit and finished off with a cross and a sweet glaze. The buns are very easy to make and are simply beautiful eaten warm and slathered with lots of butter.

excellent
Very nice, great texture, just like the ones I remember as a kid; happy to have found this recipe! I wasn't sure what "mixed spice" meant, so I used allspice, which turned out great. Used a raisin-currant-cranberry combo for the dried fruit. Made 2 changes to the recipe: cut the sugar in half (personal taste) and used regular sugar instead of superfine (caster).
