Traditional Hot Cross Buns

These homemade hot cross buns are soft lightly spiced and packed with sweet mixed dried fruit. A warm milk dough enriched with brown sugar and butter gives them their pillowy crumb while a simple flour paste cross adds their signature finish. Once golden and freshly baked the buns are glazed with a glossy raspberry jam for a subtle fruity finish. Perfect for sharing these warm fragrant buns are a comforting treat best enjoyed with butter or a cup of tea.
