Easter is nearly here. You know what that means, don’t you? Hot. Cross. Buns. EVERYWHERE.

I used to love Hot Cross Buns and would have quite happily given up the chocolate eggs for extra buns, back in the day. I had a friend mention to me recently that she was eating one and I was overwhelmed with such longing for that warm, spicy, fruity flavour that I knew I’d have to put my thinking cap on tightly.

Now, I’m not going to pretend that these are light and fluffy like traditional hot cross buns, but they have that familiar flavour and are incredible toasted with butter. I used a very small amount of currants to retain the familiar look and taste of Hot Cross Buns, but feel free to leave them out if you’d rather not use them. Also, my recipe is for eight but I think that you could very easily make twelve instead. Enjoy!
