Hot Cross Sultana Muffins
Cream together the butter, sugar and orange rind until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.

Spoon mixture into greased muffin pans filling ¾ full. Pipe on crosses. Bake in moderate oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve Warm.
Crosses:
Mix flour and water to a smooth paste. Fill into a small plastic bag, cut a small hole across the corner and use to pipe crosses.
