Well, I made the bread with sugarless pancake syrup and maple flavoring. My husband is prediabetic. I remembered, that you added a TBL spoon of baking powder in the hot cross buns to achieve a better rise. I did this and the rise was outstanding. Well, excellent, Nancy - glad to hear it worked out well for you. And the baking powder, too - I wouldn't have thought of that - thanks! PJH
