I made these Easter morning. Jacob has never heard of them before, except the song.

From allrecipes

INGREDIENTS:

3/8 cup milk 3/8 cup water 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup white sugar 4 tablespoons margarine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 3 cups bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/2 cup raisins (optional) 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon water

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Place milk, 3/8 cup water, egg, salt, white sugar, butter or margarine, cinnamon, nutmeg, peel, bread flour, yeast, and raisins in the pan of the bread machine. Select the Dough setting, and Start.
2.	Form into 15 rolls. Place into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Let rise for one hour.
3.	Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool.
4.	Make icing with confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Drizzle over buns in the shape of cross.

We liked them okay. They smelled like cinnamon rolls, but were less exciting.  Jacob needed frosting on the whole bun, and I don't blame him, I liked the more frosted ones better as well. I'd rather have some other sweet roll, but these were festive.
