Hot Cross Buns 2.0
Yo Yo Yo Gingis, I'm so excited to share with you this recipe! Hot cross buns are a delicious Easter tradition that has been enjoyed for centuries. These soft and fluffy buns are made with a rich dough that's filled with raisins, appricots, figs, and spices like cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. The buns are marked with a cross, which symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This time, I decided to pipe a sweet icing cross after baking, rather than piping a flour based batter and then bake it. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert, hot cross buns are a delightful treat that everyone can enjoy. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make these iconic buns from scratch, so you can experience the wonderful flavors and aromas of Easter with your loved ones. I have another recipe for cross buns on my website, which is very good, but a little different from these ones. You can make them both and let me know which one you prefer!
