On a whim, we decided to get chicks...yes baby chickens (7 to be exact)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just in time for Easter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The boys are beyond thrilled. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These chicks have been a great source of entertainment during these "drought" times of not having friends around to hang out with. Boys will build a coup with dear husband in a couple weekends. In the meantime, we are figuring out a plan for a coup/shed combo. They (hopefully) will be supplying us eggs by early fall. </div>

Hot Cross BunsGrowing up every year on Good Friday we would make Hot Cross Buns. Since getting married and raising my own family I have done the same thing. It is such a fun tradition. BAP and SSP love the excitement of seeing little rolls with frosting crosses pop out of the oven. This year I tried a new recipe. They did not look so pretty (so no picture) but they were delicious; we all loved them. If you have every watched the show "The Great British Bake-Off" you would recognize the familiar name of Paul Hollywood. This recipe is his...delicious.<br />

<u>Paul Hollywood's Hot Cross Buns</u><br />
adapted from: <a href="http://paulhollywood.com/recipes/easter-hot-cross-buns/" target="_blank">http://paulhollywood.com/recipes/easter-hot-cross-buns/</a><br />
<br />
Dough<br />
4 cups flour<br />
2 tsp salt<br />
1/3 cup sugar<br />
1 T yeast<br />
2 eggs (I accidentally forgot)<br />
1/2 cup water warmed with 1/2 cup warm milk<br />
2 T butter melted in the milk and water<br />
<br />
Fold in:<br />
2 tsp cinnamon<br />
1/2 cup raisins<br />
1/2 cup peeled and finely diced apple<br />
1/3 cup orange marmalade, melted<br />
<br />
Cross<br />
1/4 cup flour<br />
1/4 cup powdered sugar<br />
just a enough water to make a thick paste<br />
<br />
Glaze<br />
1/4 cup orange marmalade, melted<br />
<br />
Mix together in a large mixing bowl the dough ingredients; fold in apple raisin mixture. Let rest covered and rise until doubled. Shape into 12 rolls. Place on parchment paper. Let rise again. While rising this second time preheat oven to 425. Next pipe on crosses. Bake 20 minutes. When rolls are still warm brush on the melted marmalade. Let cool slightly and enjoy.Lovey Dovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05435166322989391076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710310377405580897.post-34984100007706123022019-03-28T12:05:00.000-06:002019-05-13T17:47:34.244-06:00Big Day for Special Young ManToday SSP made his First Holy Communion.
