I wanted to do hot cross buns for a long time but never got round to doing them. I had to give up the idea when I realised I didn’t have the right flour. So I went to the nearest supermarket and bought the pre-packaged mix that I could see on the shelf.
Christmas Day Recipes
A hot cross bun is a traditional British breakfast cake that was traditionally served around St. Patrick’s Day. Today, it’s often served around Christmas time. It’s made of two layers of cake with a cross in the middle, filled with custard. If you want to make it yourself, here’s a recipe from BBC Good Food. This recipe is for a two-layer cake. It makes about 16 hot cross buns, but if you want to make them a little bigger you can fill them with raisins, currants or sultanas instead of custard.
Directions
Once you have the flour, sugar, and yeast mixed, you can start making the buns. The first step is to grease your pan. To do this, you’ll need butter and milk. If you want to make the buns extra fancy, you can also add chocolate or sprinkles. If you don’t want to add any kind of sugar, you can mix the wet ingredients together and then mix the dry ingredients together. Using your hands, mix everything together until it’s a homogenous dough. You can add a pinch of salt, but the salt isn’t essential. Next, mix in the currants. Shape the dough into a ball, and place it into the greased pan. You can use a similar method to put the buns in the oven, but you’ll also need some oil in the pan to help them cook. Cook them at 375°F for 20 minutes. Then, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 20 minutes. If you want to make this really fancy, you can cover the buns with a glaze when they’re still warm. This glaze is made from melted chocolate and milk. After you’ve cooled them, you can either eat them straight away, or wrap them up in a paper bag and store them in the fridge for a few days.

What are Hot Cross Buns?
The traditional hot cross bun, or St. Thomas’s Day cake, is a tasty British staple made from yeast dough containing butter, sugar, eggs, and raisins. However, this sweet is also known to be associated with the Christian holiday of St. Thomas. The traditional origins of St. Thomas’s Day date back to the Middle Ages, when the pious King Thomas I of Aquitaine had a vision of the crucifixion. On the third day, Thomas ordered crosses made of cloth and ordered them blessed on the third day of the week. In the Middle Ages, crosses were hung from the doors of churches and schools on this day. The tradition of St. Thomas’s Day became popular across the country, and hot cross buns became associated with the festival.
How to Make a Hot Cross Bun
Making hot cross buns is a Easter tradition in the UK. Here’s a guide to making your own. All you need is flour, yeast, sugar, hot water, eggs, milk, and an oven. To make your hot cross buns, you’ll first need to soak the raisins in a bowl. Add a little water and leave them to soak for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Once the raisins are soft, drain them and add them to the bowl. Add the eggs and milk, and mix it all together to form a dough. Roll out your dough and cut the cross shape into a circle, and cut the circle into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Roll the balls in some flour, and leave them in a warm place to rise for 2 hours. Once the dough has risen, you can prepare the cross and place it in a baking dish. To make the cross, place a ball of dough on the left side of the dish. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Cover the buns with a damp cloth and leave them to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bake the buns for 30 minutes. Uncover and turn the oven down to 180°C. Cook for 15 minutes and leave in the oven for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
