Instructions to make Hot Cross Buns EasterBake:
  1. In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp of sugar with 60ml (2fl oz) of the warm milk and sprinkle in the yeast. Leave in a warm place for approximately 5 minutes until frothy before sifting the flour into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Rub in the butter until crumbly before adding the mixed spice, cinnamon, sugar, salt and grated nutmeg. Mix well together.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, remaining milk and yeast mixture.
  4. Mix well until all ingredients combined.
  5. Knead for a couple of minutes until smooth. Add the mixed fruit and continue until the dough is shiny. You can use a food mixer with dough hook if you like.
  6. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave in a warm place until doubled in size. This may take up to 1 1/2 hours. Knock back by kneading the dough for 5 minutes and place on a work surface covered with a clean tea towel and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Unroll the shortcrust pastry and cut 5 mm (1/4 in) wide strips with a sharp knife.
  8. Shape the dough into small balls of approximately 40g (1 1/2oz) and place 1cm apart onto a greased baking tray. Brush with the egg wash and mark the top of each bun with a cross using the strips of shortcrust pastry. Gently brush again with the egg wash. Leave to stand for 30-45 minutes until the balls have doubled in size.
  9. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C (425 F), Gas mark 7. Bake for 5 minutes before reducing the heat to 200 degrees C (400 F), Gas mark 6 and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the buns are golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack before toasting and slathering with a knob of butter. Must be eaten warm with a cup of tea whilst thinking about hot sunny days and contemplating about how good life is…

Our Hot Cross Buns Recipe (Easy Yeast Rolls for Good Friday and Easter) are a decidedly delicious roll to accompany any holiday meal, and traditionally enjoy. Making hot cross buns is not unlike making other types of sweet buns. Traditional hot cross buns are made using a shortcrust pastry , which makes carving the cross into the top easier. More recent recipes call for the crosses to be piped on at the end with icing, giving the baker more leeway. Brush the buns with the remaining beaten egg.
