Mr. Food: Cranberry hot cross buns

Published:
What You’ll Need:
  • 18 frozen dinner roll dough balls, thawed but still cold (see Notes)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
What To Do:
  1. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Using your fingers, press each dough ball into a flat circle, about 2 inches wide. Place a heaping teaspoon of cranberries in center of dough circle; bring edges together and pinch tightly to close. Shape into a round roll and place on baking sheet; repeat with remaining  dough. Cover rolls with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place about 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove wrap from rolls.
  4.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden; let cool.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients until smooth. Spoon into a small resealable plastic bag. Cut a small corner off bag and make a cross with glaze on each bun. Let glaze harden then serve, or cover loosely until ready to serve.
