Hot Cross Bun time again

Every Easter I make hot cross buns for morning tea at work & yesterday I made this batch. The buns with the V on them are for a couple of vegan colleagues. They're exactly the same, just without the egg wash. The baker's privilege is to have a small bun just out of the oven so I can report that they're delicious. I say this every year but I don't know why I don't make fruit buns at any other time of the year. They'd be just as yummy without the crosses but I know I won't make another batch until next Easter.

    1. Thank you, they're nearly all gone! The vegan ones were easy, I just left out the egg wash. I use oil instead of butter in the recipe so there were no other vegan nasties in them.

  3. They look delicious, I'll just have to feast my eyes on them and imagine the taste. I usually bake something for Easter but I'm not sure if I'll do it this year. Can I ask for the recipe or is it a well kept secret? :)

    1. The recipe's very long & complicated but I think most recipes are the same. Here's one that's similar to mine but I use oil instead of butter & probably double the amount of spice.
