Ingredients
Hot cross buns hold a cherished place in British culinary tradition, especially during the Easter season. Their history dates back centuries, with roots entwined in religious significance and seasonal celebrations. Traditionally eaten on Good Friday, these spiced buns adorned with a symbolic cross on top symbolize the end of Lent and the arrival of Easter Sunday.
Loved for their soft, fluffy texture and aromatic spices, they evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia, making them a beloved treat. Whether served fresh from the oven with a dollop of butter or toasted and paired with a cup of tea, hot cross buns are a quintessential Easter indulgence.
Baking tip: mix the bun spice through the Dry fruit with a little boiling water. This will stop the spice retarding the yeast.
