Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns,
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns
One thing I like to do every Easter is make my own hot cross buns. I usually make a huge batch on Good Friday and they last the whole weekend. They taste so-o-o much better than the bought ones, and are much less expensive.
By Easter Sunday the buns are slightly stale, so I split and toast them. They are delicious warm, spread with melting butter.
I posted the recipe back in 2008 and you can find it here. This year I didn't have any mixed fruit so I used currants and sultanas. The buns are still very tasty, although I prefer the flavour you get from the citrus peel in mixed fruit.*
*Mixed fruit is a commercial blend of candied citrus peel, raisins, currants, glace cherries and sultanas.
If you can't source it, use any dried fruit of your choice.
