RECIPES EXPRESS **************************** Happy Easter! Here is a new twist to an old recipe for all chocolate lovers. Chocolate Hot Cross Buns 4 cups all-purpose flour Icing: 1 cup powdered sugar Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat milk, oil, salt, and sugar stirring constantly over medium heat. Add liquid to dry ingredients. Add 3 eggs and stir well for 1 minute. Beat rigorously for 4 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Next add as much as you can of the remaining 2 cups flour a little at a time. Spread flour over a clean counter or chopping board and begin kneading dough for about 4 minutes. Form ball with dough and place in a greased bowl, covered with a clean towel. Let rise for about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down the dough, let dough rest for about 15 minutes. Divide dough up into small balls (makes about 15 buns). Cover with a clean towel and let rise another 30 minutes. Make a cross across the top of the balls with your finger. Brush tops of buns with egg white. Bake in a 375F (180C) degree oven for 12-14 minutes. Cool for a few minutes then drizzle chocolate icing over the top of each bun to trace the cross.
