Thank you so much. I'm a decent amateur cake baker but I manage to ruin anything with yeast in it. But I was determined to have real Hot Cross Buns this Easter, and this recipe looked wonderfully clear and detailed. The buns came out perfect, just like I remember from childhood. I had my doubts when I couldn't get the windowpane test to work (I used AP flour), I left the dough going in the KA/dough hook for 30 mins! and it still seemed to only have barely developed gluten structure like in your pictures. I used 1/2 tsp orange and 1/2 tsp lemon oils because I didn't have any peel. And we won't mention how I got distracted and left them proofing over a pot of warm water which accidently started boiling.... However the buns still came out perfect - they rose well, and the texture inside was soft and breadlike and my whole house smells heavenly. This recipe is awesome! Thank you so much.

I thought it was another friend, but was so excited that it was someone with such a popular blog. And I was just writing down the ingredients to try your hot cross buns. They look complicated but I'm going to try it anyway! Cheers! Hi Susan, I was delighted to see your comment on my fairly new blog!

I really like that you have used the dough method of making the cross on the buns. -Elizabeth P.S. My mother always said she was very cross with us too and yet it never occurred to me to think that the hot cross buns were sitting on the tray, ticked off at who know's what. Now, of course, that's ALL I'll be able to think of! :-D Beautiful, Susan! I really like that you have used the dough method of making the cross on the buns.
