Hot cross bun recipe

These hot cross buns are sweet, lightly spiced and sooo fluffy! While it is traditional to make them for Good Friday, they are great all year.

Easy Hot Cross Buns is a classic Easter bread you will want to make every year! Sweet dough dotted with golden raisins and covered in a sweet icing.

These buns from recipe developer Mark Beahm from The Sunday Baker are a bit time-consuming to make, but then, Easter comes but once a year.

There are some things that are just quintessentially Easter. Of course, you've got your chocolate bunnies and a plethora of egg-shaped treats, but for me the holiday isn't complete without an Easter Lamb Cake (a German/Eastern European tradition) or a batch of hot cross buns. I suppose that's because these treats emphasize the Christian aspect of the holiday (although it's been hotly debated that they have their pagan roots, too) while still allowing me to get my hands dirty in the kitchen…

The recipe for these hot cross buns comes from high-end bakery chain Gail’s – each step is accompanied by a picture to make it easy to follow. The buns are packed full of dried fruit and finished with a spiced syrup to achieve that signature sticky top. Enjoy with plenty of butter, hot out the oven. Or, for a chocolatey Easter treat, try these spiced chocolate and orange hot cross buns.
