Nice buns!

[twentysix by twentyfive]

I just love those squiggly crosses. Is whisky part of the recipe? (not in the buns you understand)

First attempt at using one of the cheffy dispensing bottles... your mention of whisky is pertinent, as i was thinking of soaking the dried fruit in whisky next time rather than wine...

Am I the only one who is dissapointed that with a thread title like 'Nice Buns', I see something else entirely from what I was hoping??

Nope. Hot Cross Buns are the best !!! I'm on my way for a sample.

Hot cross buns make THE BEST bread and butter pudding - even better than panettone!

I'll be making another batch of HCB at easter, when the kids are home.

Easter sunday lunch will be

• Butternut squash veloute with crispy bacon with FMC, South African Chenin Blanc
• 
  
• Pink roasted leg of lamb with rosemary, garlic and smoked anchovy, with a nice mature Pinot Noir or maybe a traditional style Rioja Gran Reserva
• 
  
• HCB & Homemade marmalade Bread and butter pudding with a sweet Loire Chenin Blanc

Just the usual then? You'd think you might make a bit of an effort for Easter Sunday.
