Sweet Easter buns
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Sweet Easter buns with dried fruits (traditionally raisins and/or dried currants), citrus zest, spices, and crosses drawn on top with a paste made from dough. They taste best when warm, served with milk or tea, though they're quite good even when cooled down ;) Store them in a bag or a tightly sealed container. The baked goods are ready. Serve and enjoy.

Remove the milk from the heat, let it cool slightly, then beat in the eggs. Sift 500 grams of flour into a separate bowl, add sugar, yeast, and cinnamon. Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
