for the person who was confused about the quantity of yeast, this recipe calls for fresh yeast, which comes in cube-shaped cakes. it is much heavier than the granulated sort, because it has water in it. some bakers think that fresh yeast produces a better flavor.

Not at all like I thought Hot Cross Buns would taste. Everyone thought they were very yummy. Add a little egg wash on top to make them shiny.
Easter Flop

Was there a typo in the amount of yeast? 2 ounces? [1/4 oz = 2 1/4 tsps, 2 oz=18 tsps!]This recipe produced a dough that rose rapidly and fell flat when shaped into rolls. This recipe was a waste of good raisins. This recipe was a total disaster for Easter dinner.
This recipe is NOT for Passover.

Yeast is in this recipe and is therefore not allowed during Passover.

An easy recipe, even for someone who hasn't worked with yeast before. The recipe instucts to preheat oven much too premature in the process. Yummy, even without the glaze.
Ratings should be based on the Receipe

The comments at the top of the receipe say nothing about passover. And YES it it RUMORED to have come from pagan festivals. That's all it says--rumored. Ratings should be based on the receipe after you make it and those of you observing passover obviously have not made it so you shouldn't be rating it. I don't go and give low marks on passover receipes because they are passover receipes. Get a Life!

Hot Cross Buns Are Not Passover Food

Hot Cross Buns have NO BUSINESS being on the search-site for Passover. Not only is it entirely insensitive to Jews the world over, but your shoddy explanation of them being "pagan in origin" and celebrating the arrival of Spring is just plain ignorant.

This is not a Passover Recipe. It has to many ingredients that is not aloud on Passover. Like Flour, Yeast, etc. It should be taken out of this section.
Misinformation

It's sad to see Gale Gand spreading misinformation. The rumor that Hot Cross Buns are pagan in origin is just that: a rumor. It has no basis in fact. Hot Cross Buns were originally sold only on Good Friday. The markings do indeed represent the cross of Christ, and have no relation to any X marks that Egyptians or Romans may have used. Perhaps Gand used this misinformation to slip the recipe into the Passover show, which insults Christians and Jews (and even pagans) alike. It is not an honorable thing to do.
