Hi Trevi,
I didn't have any better luck than you had. I won't contact Euclid Fish. I don't get involved with emailing people or businesses like that to ask about recipes. The only thing that I found about Hough's Hot Cross Buns is that they were from an old English recipe, delicately spiced and topped with sugar. Archie's Bakery, in Beachwood, Ohio, has many, if not all, of Hough's recipes, and they make the hot cross buns seasonally, using the Hough recipe. See: Archie's Hough Bakery
I'll post this. Someone might respond with some additional information.
