How to make hot cross buns:

In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and cinnamon. Heat milk and next 5 ingredients until just warm (about 120° to 130°). Add to dry mixture; add eggs. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in currants by hand and add enough of remaining flour to make a soft dough. Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and turn out onto floured surface; cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide into 18 pieces; form into small small balls. Place on greased baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.

Cover and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. Cut a shallow cross in each; brush tops with slightly beaten egg white. Bake at 375° for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly and pipe on cross with a combination of the powdered sugar, almond or vanilla extract and enough milk to make a thick icing.
