Made a double batch of HOT CROSS BUNS today. Dropped them off to 4 different relatives. Here are a few pictures. They are made with a white flour yeast bread. Filled with raisins and currents ( you can use any dried fruit) spiced with Mixed spice and cinnamon. I glazed them with sugar water and fresh lemon juice for a sweet/tart kick. The crosses are powdered (icing) sugar with water and the fresh lemon juice and a bit of Vanilla. A very big hit here. They’re a big sweet in the UK during lent or the Easter season.

By the way Wayne, just for info, most of our commercially sold hot cross buns don't have icing, the cross is made of bread too, they are best with sultanas, raisins and currants tend to go hard in oven.

Thanks @RobMc the recipe i copied and butchered from John Kirkwood's YouTube channel, I highly recommend his channel. He is a fantastic cook from the north of England. Here's the link bellow. Here in this part of Canada all our HCB's are frosted. I skipped his lemon zest and added lemon juice to my glaze and frosting. Locally we use raisins and currents. Last year I ran short of R&C so I added a few candied cherries (worked great but been a long time since we old farts set eyes on a cherry) RobMc and TBB 1 1 Awards
