Hot cross buns

Hot cross buns are a beautiful springtime tradition, celebrated around the world during Easter and spring festivals like Ostara. These lightly sweetened, yeast-leavened rolls are warmly spiced with cinnamon and studded with sweet currants.

Baking these buns fills your home with an irresistible, comforting aroma. While they require a little patience as the dough rises, the process is incredibly rewarding. Finished with a sweet icing cross and enjoyed warm with a cup of tea, these soft and fluffy buns are a wonderful way to welcome the season of renewal.
