Love these! I did a combo of currants and one of Trader Joes' yummy dried fruit mixes: blueberries, cherries, cranberries and golden raisins. Soaked them in rum (Mmmmmmmm). I added in a bit of vanilla and almond extract (just because almond always reminds me of Easter, and vanilla bumps that flavor up). I had to add-in more flour -- I live in Almost Mexico, AZ, and it was a very hot, dry day (sounds backwards, but I ALWAYS have to add more flour.) Rose beautifully. I'm SOOO excited to eat these. It's been years since I had hot cross buns.
