Directions:
Use lukewarm water (80 degrees) for dried yeast. Let stand a few minutes, then stir until dissolved. Pour hot milk over salt, sugar and shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and 2 cups flour. Beat well and let rise until light.

Add egg yolks, then the remaining flour mixed with cinnamon. Add currants, knead and put in a large greased bowl. Brush top of dough with melted butter and let rise until double in bulk.

With a very sharp knife, cut a cross just through the top surface in each bun. Bake in a pre-heated oven (400 degrees) for 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter and continue to bake for five more minutes. Cool on a rack. If desired, brush each bun with a simple frosting made with powdered sugar.

Eddie (Dad) used to make these every year for our Phamily. We'd eat them after Easter Morning Mass along with his famous Bloody Marys.
