I only use currants and candied orange peel in my hot cross buns. However, I plump my currants in Grand Marnier, use orange zest and whatever Grand Marnier remains in the dough. I also use Grand Marnier in the icing for the cross. The result is quite decadent. I love to make and give to friends. Their palates are always shocked at first bite!!!!!
Oooooh, sounds delicious! Never thought of liqueur in these, but I can totally embrace the concept - PJH
