Those buns look incredible. That’s why this channel is inspiring, all the dishes are very achievable I have saved loads since trying quite a few. 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Glad you like them! Ric these things were too big to go in the wide toaster. I had to shove it in and then lift the lever to get them out. Anyone can make anything I do on here. I wont put anything up that can't be put on a table at home. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@chalkiememe4183]

My husband asked me yesterday to make some hot cross buns this weekend. How fabulous that you did this recipe just as I need it because my HC buns are good but yours looks so much better. Will be using your recipe and hope they come out even half as good as yours. Happy Easter.

[@BackyardChef]

You got this! Thank you. Best. Rik

[@ricatkins4918]

I used to get one every week on the way home from college, with a slice of cheddar cheese on. Sounds wrong but so delicious. 😊

Can't go wrong with cheese.

[@davidmurphy816]

Wow Rik, you read my mind … I was just looking for Hot Crossed Buns recipes online when your notification popped up! (Love your stand mixer by the way, had my eye set on one of those, but was sadly outwith my budget, so had to settle for a lesser brand which I treated myself to for Xmas & haven’t used yet - so this will be it’s maiden voyage!) So glad I watched your video, as I’d probably have thought I’d mucked along the way, producing such a wet/sticky dough mixture - none of the recipes I’ve read so far explains that this is to be expected, so I’d probably have added additional flour!🫣 As always thanks for sharing 🙏, you’ve got my mouth watering for a freshly baked, toasted Hot X Bun slathered in creamy butter!🧈 Yuuuum!!! 😋. 👨‍🍳👌

[@BackyardChef]

I was fortunate to have got the mixer years ago. I don't use it so often to be honest. I should and I will. It sounded a little rough to be honest. Good piece of kit. Only blown it up once, easy fixed. Yes this is a real sticky dough! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@davidmurphy816]
