How to make hot cross buns:

Use very warm water for yeast. Sprinkle yeast into water; let stand a few minutes, then stir until dissolved. Pour hot milk over salt, sugar and shortening to cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and 2 cups of flour; beat well and let rise about 1/2 hour. Add egg yolks, then remaining flour mixed with cinnamon. Add raisins. Knead. Put in a large, greased bowl. Brush top of dough with melted butter. Cover and let rise about 1 1/2 hours. Shape into small, round buns and place close together in greased pan. Let rise until doubled in bulk. With a very sharp knife, cut a cross just through the top surface of each bun. Bake in preheated oven at 400° for 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter and continue to bake for 5 minutes more. Cool on a rack. If desired, brush each bun with a simple frosting made of confectioners sugar, moistened with water.
