| so i made hot cross buns because my mom was eating them on skype the other day. i had convineintly forgotten that they existed until she reminded me! so i had to make some! i used the recipe of nhttp://www.vanielje.com/blog/2008/03/13/smyrna-fig-and-lemon-peel-hot-cross-buns/ except without all the frilly bits like symra figs and organic candied lemon peel. i didnt quite have all the spices on hand and for that reason they came out a bit bland. i would recommend making these only in desperate situations like youre in the middle of italy and noone has even smelt a hot cross bun here. they take a long time to prepare and are not as soft as the shops! |

| dont they look awesome! this is after the 3rd rising session, they are about to go into the oven |
 |
| buns in the oven! |
 |
| look at that texture! straight out of the oven they are divine, the next day they are chewy and hard and have to be toasted. im going to make a whole batch at easter for the people at work to try. if anyone can recommend other spicy easter favourites i should make, that would be fun! |
