Hot Cross Buns

Yum, maybe needs more cinnamon. Going to try it toasted in the morning.

Great flavor and texture. I also used citrus rinds and glazed cherries and it turned out very well.

These are delicious!

I'm not sure if I made an error but the dough was very wet. It still baked ok but I had to use a lot of flour on my work surface and rolling pin to stop it sticking.

Hey Alexis, thanks for sharing your experience with the hot cross buns. It sounds like there may have been too much liquid or not enough flour in the mixture. In case you used cup measurements, it can help to ensure that the flour isn't too loosely packed in the cup, but rather, gently spooned into the measuring cup and levelled. The consistency can also depend on the type of flour you use. We used bread flour for this recipe.

Beautiful recipe! The steps are a little out of order after incorporating the raisins, at least on my end.

My toddler is a picky eater but he loves this from the bakery. So glad to have found a recipe to make the buns at home. Saves money and sugar intake :-)

Aw we hope your little one enjoys the recipe, Kasu!

I love the fluffiness and ease of these!! The bottoms of the rolls were too crisp so I’ll need to something different next time to help that texture. I would also make a version of these with extra nutmeg and no raisins.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the recipe, Sydney 🤗

Yessss! I've been looking for this recipe as I used to eat these at Easy in Ireland as a child! Can't wait to try it!
