Hot Cross Buns (sweet ‘n Low)

People who treat others as inferior are those who themselves suffer from a sense of inferiority and insecurity. Others are a threat to them because they don’t have a sense of being important to the eternal God. They don’t have the assurance that this God will look after them more than adequately. When we lose sight of our identity in Christ, lesser identifying features, like race, class, caste, and education, become significant. We try to find our identity by acting more significant than others.

INSTRUCTIONS

In large bowl, mix sugar, Sweet'N Low, salt, cinnamon, yeast and 1 cup
flour. In small saucepan over low heat, heat margarine and 1 cup skim
milk until warm (120Ã¸ to 130Ã¸ F). With mixer at low speed,  gradually
beat milk mixture into yeast mixture. Increase speed to  medium; beat 2
minutes. Beat in egg and 1 cup flour; continue beating  2 minutes. With
wooden spoon, stir in enough additional flour to make  soft dough
(about 2 cups). Add currants and orange peel. Turn dough  onto lightly
floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about  10 minutes,
kneading in additional flour if necessary. Shape into  ball. Spray
large bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Place dough in  bowl, turning
to coat top. Cover and let rise in warm place until  dough is doubled,
about 1-1/2 hours. Spray two 8- or 9-inch square  baking pans with
non-stick cooking spray. Punch down dough. Divide  dough into 18
pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Arrange balls in  pans. Cover and
let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.  Preheat oven to
375 Ã¸F. Lightly beat egg white; use to brush buns.  Bake 20 to 25
minutes or until golden. Remove buns from pan; cool on  wire racks 15
minutes. Meanwhile, prepare icing: In small bowl, stir  confectioners
sugar, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon skim milk until smooth.  Drizzle icing
over buns, forming a cross.  Per serving (1 bun): 190 calories, 4 g
