52 Breads in 2013 – #12 Hot Cross Buns

Please join me in giving a warm Canadian welcome to “Life without Lemons”.  Originally hailing from the UK and now living in Canada, we are very excited to announce that, Elyse with her fabulous “52  Breads in 2013” will be our weekly guest blogger.  If you are looking for some fabulous bread recipes, drop by each week and see what delicious bread Elyse has baked in her kitchen.

A life without lemons is like swimming in the nude. You can do it, but it just feels wrong.

A Life Without Lemons is my little blog about food, family and an ongoing love affair with gin and tonic.I am a wife, mother of two lovely (loud, messy, crazy) boys, trained butcher and passionate cook of all things tasty. I moved from rainy England to snowy Canada in 2011 and planned to make friends and influence people with food and gin.

In 2013 I have embarked on a baking mission to make 52 different breads. All of the recipes are from one book- Women’s Institute: Bread. I have no special tools or fancy equipment. Just me, my kitchen and a pre heated oven.

Why not come along for the ride and make some bread……….

#12 Hot Cross Buns {RECIPE}

A hot cross bun is a spiced sweet bun made with currants or raisins and marked with a cross on the top, traditionally eaten on Good Friday. I think I will be making a few batches of these to see us through the Spring Break. They are a little time consuming to make,
but in my book that is what Sunday mornings are for and I love pottering about my kitchen in my PJ’s knocking up something tasty!

TASTE: Delicious toasted and smothered in butter!  They will also make your house smell divine and of course with Easter around the corner if you have never made a hot cross bun before, I suggest you start now-they are fab!
