This is the recipe I use, with great success.

If you want to make a traditional white cross instead of icing... mix 2tbsp of plain flour with 2tbsp of water.  To a nice consistency not runny.  Use a plastic bag if no icing bag... snip the corner and pipe crosses just before baking.  OR.. follow recipe below.



Ingredients
1  egg, plus
1  egg yolk
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon rind, grated
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup raisins or candied fruit

Glaze

1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

   1.      Put all ingredients except fruit into bread machine.
   2.      Set for dough.
   3.      Add fruit at signal.
   4.      Lightly oil 9x13 pan.
   5.      When dough is ready, remove and punch down.
   6.      Cut into 18-24 pieces.
   7.      Roll each into a ball.
   8.      Place balls 1/2" apart in pan.
   9.      Cover and rise in warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  10.     Cut cross into top with sharp knife.
  11.     Bake 12-15 minutes @ 375.
  12.     Make glaze adding sugar or milk to make consistency to drizzle but not run.
  13.     Let rolls cool slightly and drizzle icing in cuts.
