Hot Cross Bun time again

It's the time of year for enjoying hot cross buns again. I made these on Sunday morning & took them into work yesterday for morning tea.

I love making these. The dough is so warm & the scent of the spices just fills the whole house as the buns rise & cook.

  1. Yum! I make hot cross buns this time of year too. I adapted my recipe for the bread maker so I don't have to do the kneading, which makes them even more enjoyable to make. I usually end up making 5 or 6 batches and giving some away, but my favorite part is eating them! Happy Easter!

  3. Well, they didn't last long! I don't know why I never bother making fruit buns without the crosses any other time of year. Maybe I should make the effort during the winter.

  5. You would have been a very popular woman with treats like that! I've never had a homemade hot cross bun before, yours make the store bought ones look pretty pathetic.

  6. Thanks Val, they were all gone by lunchtime so that's a good sign. Darlene they really are better than bought ones. My recipe has some oats in it & it makes a really dense bun that is very filling. They look homemade too because I can never get the buns a uniform size. Some of the buns were so huge, two people would share one.
