Rich and Fluffy Hot Cross Buns Perfect for Easter

If you like hot cross buns, you can't beat home made! You will love this recipe with soaked raisins, orange zest and the right balance of spices. Not too sweet and rich and fluffy as we love them. Hot cross buns are a traditional Easter treat that has been enjoyed in England and other parts of the world for centuries. The buns are usually made with a sweet, spiced dough that contains dried fruit, and they are marked with a cross on top, either with icing or pastry.
The origins of hot cross buns can be traced back to ancient pagan traditions, where sweet buns were baked to celebrate the arrival of spring. In Christian traditions, the cross on the buns represents the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices inside symbolize the spices used to embalm him.
In addition to their rich history, hot cross buns are also delicious to eat. They are soft, sweet, and spicy, with a hint of tartness from the dried fruit.
They can be enjoyed fresh from the oven, toasted with butter, or even used to make a bread pudding. Enjoy and happy Easter!👉 Get this written recipe link here: recipe30.com/h...

[@MrDavePed]

Hot cross buns ! Hot cross buns ! One a penny, two a penny.. Hot Cross Buns ! ..

[@recipe30]

Sounds like a song...

[@MrDavePed]

@@recipe30 It is a song. I used to hear it on a little record as a kid back in the 60's. I think the song is from Victorian age England. You can hear it by searching for the song Hot Cross Buns + More Nursery Rhymes & Kids Songs - CoComelon Apparently most others have dumbed down the melody. Sad. I imagine it may have been called out in the street markets of London long ago. ..

[@msgpennie]

Always wanted to see how these are made 😄

[@recipe30]

Glad it was helpful 😄

[@tulip6427]

Thanks

[@paulineohea175]

Too good to be true ❤😊

[@shyamdevadas6099]

Proper Response To A Co-Worker Who Tells You "I've Got Hot Cross Buns": "Then, wear a long coat!" (Nice looking buns, by the way.)

[@christianchauhan23]

[@recipe30]

Cheers my friend! 😊

[@MM-yj3mr]

Merci beaucoup chef

Un plaisir! 😊

[@MareeJaeger]

I make hot cross buns every year (I prefer making them to eating them, but I do taste test). I have tried so many recipes. I will try this one next year.minus the glaze I have my own recipe for that.

[@gerrycorbino66]

Does that look like too much work? Nah, if Chef Joel recommends it then it's worth whatever time it takes to prepare. Happy Easter!

[@recipe30]

Thanks Gerry, it's actually quite easy if you prove overnight.

[@lynnkang-rq6zq]

happy easter day❤

[@recipe30]

Thanks Lynn, you too!

[@annecain3301]

They look absolutely delicious. Sadly it has been a few years since I made Hot Cross Buns. I am eating one at the moment and it is a poor substitute for the real thing. Thank you for posting another excellent video.

I miss Whiskey today...😂

[@recipe30]

Not his thing, next time 😊

[@consuelolabbe4581]

👏👏👏👌

[@ymseow]

Why do you rub butter into flour? Some add butter after dough comes together, what difference does it make?

[@ScoobieDoo]

Wow...great recepie! But what with "The Dog"?! Hope it 's OK 😉

[@recipe30]

He's fine! Baking is not his thing.

[@moonmist9]

Looks great. What are the spices in mixed spice?

[@recipe30]

In the description there's a link to the full recipe.

[@suravaraprasad3797]

😋😋😋👏👏👏👏.

[@user-fw6gf2xh7x]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏

[@milesblack8485]

Loved watching this but sadly, this is one of the more complex recipes that needs both skill and equipment. I am left feeling a little ‘cross, bun still delighted!’ 😛

[@recipe30]

You can knead by hand of course, and prove overnight makes it easier.

[@cptka4]

❤😮😍😍😍

[@santhoshbishwakarma9453]

It's very good. But its recipe should be given. So that we can make it.

Hot cross bun sign seen in multiple system atrophy on T2 weighted MRI. 😅 just doctors obsession to food and naming things in medicine after food.
