Hot Cross Buns

Sift together one quart of flour, onehalf teaspoon salt, one cup of sugar, three scant teaspoons baking powder.

Rub in one-half cup butter, then add onehalf pound cleaned currants, one-half teaspoon nutmeg, one-quarter pound cut citron, one-quarter pound seeded raisins, one-half teaspoon allspice. Beat two eggs, add one-half cup milk, and stir into the dry mixture, adding sufficient milk to mix to a firm dough. Mold into round buns, lay two inches apart on greased pans, brush with milk. Cut cross on each, sprinkle cut with granulated sugar, and bake in hot oven.
