My little oven has excelled itself once more!!! I have just made a batch of Hot Cross Buns which were awesome, even if I do say so myself. Although my dear husband agrees, so I'm not just being conceited.
They rose beautifully, were soft on the inside, just hard enough on the outside, joined together while baking to make those delicious kiss-crusts and although they could have been neater, my crosses didn't separate from the bun or go hard. My Hot Cross Buns looked professional!!
The dried fruit and mixed peel I'd saved from my Christmas pudding was perfect, although I did steep the raisins and sultanas in boiling water for a bit first, as they were initially a bit too dry. I used melted strawberry jam as a glaze on top, and served with lashings of French butter - delicious!!
Hope the Easter Bunny finds you all tonight!! Happy Easter everyone!!
