“Hot cross buns, hot cross buns, one a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns”

Who wouldn’t have grown up singing this rhyme.. We all have 😀

Hot cross buns have rich history and traditionally eaten on Good Friday but now available round the year in parts of Europe, USA, Africa, India, Australia, Canada and more. They have a sweet, bit spicy and tangy flavor.

So, here is my attempt in making them (the recipe may differ a bit from the traditional one) after searching tonnes of recipes.

So, join me and sing “hot cross buns” while we make it. 🙂
