Hot Cross Buns Recipe for the end of Lent!

[@pitabury]

I can't thank you enough for all of your amazing videos! This one, in particular, is my momma's favorite for me to bake as she LOVES hot crossed buns for Easter. So thank you so much for helping me keep my momma happy. Everything I have ever baked or cooked from your videos has always been a hit.

[@sconebaker8051]

Just made my first batch; turned out beautiful! Thank you . Perfect recipe and instructions.

[@jimstein2890]

This is a childhood favorite, eating hot cross buns, enjoying the tasty flavors and looking at the bun after each bite. I have to write it, "Oh Yum!"

[@kevingarcia4801]

Excellent recipe. I am from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean where Hot Cross BUNS are a must have for Easter. I tried your recipe and I got the best buns ever. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.

Love the fact that you are "traditional" in the sense of the recipe. I love using recipes rather than winging it in the kitchen.

[@aryarathne2479]

Well i do both. sometimes winging creates better tastes

I have had hot cross buns with the flour paste cross and the icing cross. Growing up Scandinavian, we used this recipe. In other countries, I had the flour paste recipe. I prefer the icing cross. It’s just a yummy bun recipe which ever way you prefer them

[@Recipeengine]

There's an English recipe for hot cross buns which has the cross made of almond paste. More fiddly, but tastes really nice

Hi Anna,I simply love your videos. You have taught me so much and today I have become a great and confident baker. I have done this recipe and it turned out awesome. I had so many compliments. I also used your recipe for my You tube channel with little adjustments. So I say thank you from the bottom of my heart all the way from South Africa.

I remember watching you on tv years ago and was really in love with your kitchen. When i have my own house I will do the flour and sugar drawer like yours, I really love it! In fact if it wasnt for the flour drawer i wouldnt have remembered you. I have to search for many keywords tho because I didnt remember your name or your show name. I really love your kitchen!

[@leleansmith1129]

Thank you so much for this video Anna! I learn a lot from watching you! I really miss hot cross buns. I live in CA Bay Area and can’t find them anymore. Apparently it is no longer politically correct to sell or make them (the cross has become offensive). Panera used to bake them-they really are wonderful baked fresh-but no longer carry them. I will have to try this recipe! Blessings and Happy Resurrection Sunday!

[@hugzzss]

Omg they look amazing

Hello Anna Luv your recipes.. can u plz. Help giving alternatives for egg in every recipe as we all Asian vegetarians can’t eat eggs and your recipes always chase me to try

[@changeing1311]

Amazing and yet, amazing!

[@shalinihayes1215]

I had to add more liquid in all the batches I attempted even though dry ingredients were measured out to the T. Is the problem the egg? Perhaps the size differs between continents.

[@angiepather5165]

Hi Anna, I love your recipes, your clarity in explaining the ingredients & method. Love watching you bake, very much my style of baking. Please can you tell me if I can use a dairy free milk or water in this recipe as our 4 year old granddaughter cannot have any dairy products :'( also would love if you can do some dairy free cookies, biscuits & cakes. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love from South Africa.

Add a Vitamin C Tablet to the dough while mixing. Assists in breaking down the protein. Will most definitely make a lighter bun. An yes I am a Master Baker(retired)

[@Jadechilisachilisa7875]

Do you crush it up first before kneading it into the dough??

[@hobojump7651]

Alternative option just find instant yeast brand that contain ascorbic acid in it.

There might be some tv magic going on there :)

[@yuweishen3113]

Should I use self-rising flour for the buns or plain flour will just be fine?

YUWEI SHEN u should use bread flour. I did and it came out perfect with a wonderful texture

Hey Anna! This is Priya! I love baking and I became huge fan of your baking. I am a complete vegan and want to skip egg. So is it like I can only add curd or can I add something else that will give same texture as egg?

[@andreafonceca9965]

Is there a difference when we use Active dry yeast and instant yeast ?

[@LL-PR]

Andrea Fonceca As far as I know, active yeast needs to be “activated “ in warm liquid (10-15’ or so) before use while instant yeast can be used directly with dry ingredients (you can mix it directly in flour )

[@andreafonceca9965]

@@LL-PR And does the proportion or amount used differ from each other ? Like if i use active dry yeast instead of instant in the above recipe .

[@LL-PR]

Andrea Fonceca I think they are used equally in weight.Only fresh yeast needs much more qty.Happy baking!

Hi Anna Thank you for sharing! I've tried these twice and both times the dough did not come away from the sides of the mixing bowl. mini kitchen aid. I weighed the flour and the milk measured in a measuring jug?

[@cynthia04lee]

The same happened to me...I think it's mostly the flour that we are using. You will have to gauge and see if adding more flour to the dough will help which i did. Just add a little at a time and finish off the kneading with your hands. That worked for me...Dough is perfect!

[@renizar]

The same thing happen to me as well. I ended up adding 4 Tbsp of flour and the dough turn up great.
