Hot cross buns

I've never made hot cross buns before but Wade always had them growing up for Easter. So I got the recipe from Lian, Wade's sister. And they were absolutely divine! I didn't have any raisins and they don't sell mixed spice up here so I need to make another batch to see what they are like with a little bit of nutmeg and raisins. But they were beautiful nonetheless. The glaze is an amazing sugar/water/gelatine concoction. Thanks for the recipe Lian : )
