Happy Easter
Since I've been making so much bread these days, it only seemed fitting if I made some Hot Cross Buns for the festivities.
I've always hated traditional Hot Cross Buns in the past, because they were full of raisins and I never liked the spices in them.
So, I made a batch of choc-chip ones and also a raisin version too.
I used an easy to follow recipe from Women's Day. Made it twice exactly the same except substituting rasins with choc chips. I only used just a little over 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, hence, it was very subtle in any spices.
AND... who knew it would be so hard just to pipe the crosses on the buns. It is a flour and water mixture, and its actually so slimy and thick that it was so hard to pipe. So you can see that for my raisin batch, there are 2 buns where the crosses turned out more like a splat.
Here are the results
