I spent some time baking today. Making hot cross buns is a lengthy process, but so worthwhile.
I love hot cross buns and Good Friday is the only time that I make them. To make good buns, it is necessary to allow the dough to rise three times, which takes up to three hours.
They were ready just in time for a cup of afternoon tea and a still-warm bun, fresh from the oven. After a month of healthy eating, this was a welcome treat.
Wishing you all a happy Easter.
Your hot cross buns look delicious. Wishing you a Happy Easter:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosie. They are delicious. I used Mary Berry’s recipe and it worked perfectly. Marie x
DeleteYUM! Being sick for Easter weekend, there were no extras this year... we really missed our Hot Cross Buns. :/
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you missed out on this Easter treat, Tracy. Hope you are feeling better now. Marie x
DeleteThey look delish! I love Hot Cross Buns too, but I bought mine in M&S. xox
ReplyDeleteYou can’t beat M & S. They used to have food stores here, but closed them years ago and I really missed being able to buy treats. There’s been talk of them reopening, but I suspect that is just a rumour and they certainly wouldn’t open one around here! Marie x
