Hi Bobby

Every Easter I make several pans of these the day before, divide them into the
appropriate breakfast sized portions and deliver them that afternoon to
various family members for their Easter breakfast.  The grand kids rave about
them so, having passed the grand kid test, I suppose they're petty good, and
as you know, grand kids always tell it like it is.  Hope you like them.

Happy Baking!

Don

                        ROLLS
     3/4  cup           milk
     1/2  cup           oil
   3                    egg
     1/3  cup           sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/2  teaspoon      cinnamon
   4 1/2  cups          all-purpose flour
   4 1/2  tablespoons   yeast
     1/2  cup           dried currants
   1                    egg white -- beaten

                        FROSTING
   1 1/2  cups          powdered sugar
   2      tablespoons   margarine, unsalted
     1/2  teaspoon      vanilla
   1      tablespoon    milk -- possibly 2

ROLLS
Place ingredients in machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Use the "dough" setting and press "start."  When the machine beeps remove the
dough and proceed as follows.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.  Punch dough down (if your machine hasn't
already done so) and divide into 24 equal parts.  Shape into balls, place into
baking pan and brush tops with beaten egg white.  Let rise until doubled in
bulk.  Bake 15 to 20 min until golden brown. 

ICING
In a small bowl combine all frosting ingredients.  Beat well adding enough
milk to achieve the proper consistency.  Let buns cool slightly, then using a
cake decorator pipe a cross on the top of each bun.
