[@bethbilous4720]

I love this woman, she is the epitome of beauty and a graceful woman.

[@DanTuck100]

Just made these, followed ingredients and method precisely, and they've turned out absolutely Perfect... Best Hot Cross Buns ever.. Thank you Mary.

[@elviramcintosh9878]

I had to double the recipe for my family, they absolutely loved them. Spicy, light, warm, with a simple yet yummy glaze. And the grandkids told me the story of Easter as we dribbled the crosses on them. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Australia.

I was so apprehensive attempting this, but the recipe (on Good Food) and this video made it so easy. It took over 3hrs all in but they smell and taste absolutely delish. Mary Berry is the best. An absolute diamond 💎

[@kalaroopnarine7395]

Miss Mary Berry, you are a superstar! For all of these years I wanted to know how to make the buns "pillowry". You unlocked the secret of double proofing. Thank you very much. I made some today and they turned out magnificent.

[@helendeacon7637]

Thank you Mary. I found this a couple of years ago and have made a point of returning to it now. They are so tasty and quite straightforward to bake- the proofing and lovely glaze make all the difference.

i just made these, and want to say that the recipe on the website leaves out the second proving, before you shape the buns. but I recommend including it because they took ages to rise but the end result was superb, of course!

Thanks for the tip, I thought that was odd in the recipie. May make these this year.

Good tip about the yeast and salt staying apart. I made some today, before I watched your video, and they came out as hard as cannonballs! So disappointing. I thought maybe the yeast (dried) was too old. I've had it a year. Also, I only proved them once for an hour and a half. So I'm going to try again and use your tips. Thank you :)

[@tselengbotlhole750]

I made these a few days ago this time I used my homemade candied peel. I forgot to use the lemon zest. They turned out excellent. The point I'm trying to make is that you don't need both the zest and the candied peel. I had previously made them with the zest and no candied peel still tasted excellent

[@kalerab1588]

400grams of strong flour 60grams of crystal sugar, half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of allspice or other spices 8grams of yeast and salt

I really love watching all of Mary’s videos, and I’m definitely gonna try the cross buns! But apparently land in the UK is handled differently than Greece and Germany, where my parents are from. Eggs and butter are entirely forbidden during lent. And milk is only allowed for children, sick people and pregnant women.😅🎉 still I think the funds would fit perfectly with Easter dinner on Sunday and the weeks after that

I wonder if anyone knows where to get the plastic film Mary uses to cover the buns for proving. When I use cling film it tends to squash the dough . Thanks

[@paulmaking1980]

Mary Berry is very grand!

[@jayneymcmurray1861]

Do you use plain or self raising

[@zee7190]

Is there any way to make these "overnight hot cross buns"? That way I can make the dough the day before and then do either the 2nd or 3rd prove the next morning?

[@opwave79]

Personally, I’d pop the bowl in the fridge after the 2nd rise. Then bring them out first thing in the morning, portion and roll out the buns for their final proofing before you bake them.

[@zee7190]

@@opwave79 I did that soon after sending that message. It made such a difference to the flavour of the buns and made it so much easier to make them for breakfast. Definitely worth doing it that way....

[@darkphoneix8173]

do you have to use the flour water mixture to make a cross? or could you slightly cut one in

[@sarahstubs3420]

Cutting it probably wouldn't show after baking as the dough swells a bit - the flour and water works well but if you don't have a piping bag just pop it in a plastic sandwich bag and cut a hole in one corner. Some people ice it on top but I'm not a fan of that method XD

[@a.v.-anthoula2600]

Thank you!!!

[@behappy2763]

What does “200 fan” mean? 390° F in a convection oven? If so, any idea what temperature to cook it at for those of us with a standard oven? Thanks!

[@oskihaddad6406]

Love her

[@rajivronald]

In my country we put the crosses on after they're baked using royal icing. I love the extra sweetness and I dip mine in condensed milk when eating.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

rajivronald which country is that? In Australia and UK we use the method in video. The fruit rolling into the bread is what makes it sweet and when made fresh so good with butter. Everywhere cross made differently. Not sure which is the actual traditional way. Some seen use royal icing after baked for cross, or brush sugar syrup on top for glaze. Really up to person preference and their traditions that they grew up with.

[@conged4718]

Could I cut the caster sugar down to 60 grams or less?

[@sarahstubs3420]

Definitely! As long as you don't cut it down below 1-2 tbsp as the yeast needs some sugar to respire which is what produces the gas that lets them rise:) The fruit adds plenty of sweetness so I'd say 60g sounds perfect. You can also do 2 tbsp caster sugar and the rest of the mass with a sweetener (I use granulated canderel when I'm baking for my brother) if you are worried about the sugar side.

[@sarahstubs3420]

You can use plain flour for most sweet buns like these but the texture can be a bit dryer and more cake-like I think as it has less gluten. I've made cinnamon rolls with plain flour before (one of my regular recipes even specifies plain flour) and they're a similar type of bake so I reckon you just go for it!! Everything is delicious fresh out of the oven:D Have fun and happy easter!
