Easter is a delightful time of year - it marks the end of the dreary winter months and gives us hope for a decent summer! Easter food is delicious - spring lamb, simnel cake and of course, hot cross buns and Easter eggs for the kids (young and old!). This recipe for hot cross buns is easy and delicious. The recipe makes 12 buns - it's best not to scale this recipe, but if you want to make more, then double the quantity.
