Hot Cross Buns
This year was the first time I tried my hand in making hot cross buns.
I saw the on the Pioneer Woman’s website and boy, where they calling my name! :)
More like screaming: “ Make me! “
So I did.
I am so weak when it comes to homebaked breads and buns….
Aaaanyways, the dough is so easy to put together. You can bake the buns the same day or refrigerate and bake when you are ready. I did both.
You are asking, where is the frosting cross?
Well, I ditch it.
Yep.
The buns were so good spread with butter that I decided not to make the frosting. Besides, I made a frosting slathered cake for Easter ( post coming up ) so I really didn’t miss it.
I hope you will try Ree’s recipe. She has a picture-loaded tutorial on making these.
You will love it!
Few more things:
1. I did a little Spring cleaning. Here on the blog. Whatcha think? Yeah or meah?
2. There is still time to enter the giveaway for the dessert decorator pro. Please, enter through rafflecopter.
Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend! We sure did. Lots of great food and fabulous desserts. Easter egg hunt was a success and there is really not that much of fake grass to clean up.
I will be back with a delicious and deviliciously addicting cake recipe. So stay tuned!

DeleteHi Anna, Love the new look on your blog. The buns look delicious especially with a slab of butter. I am impressed by anyone that bakes their own bread! Glad you had a good Easter weekend - look forward to the cake! :)

DeleteI really do like the new look. I need to update my blog. It is clean, but very plain.
ReplyDeleteThese buns look a lot different than most that I have seen. Sometimes I am more in a toast mood than a donut mood when it comes to breakfast and these look like they are the in between, which is perfect for those days. Stunning photos here.

DeleteHi Anna! These look delicious! I was at the bookstore yesterday and was previewing The Pioneer Woman's new cookery book, have you seen it? I've only been able to watch a couple of her shows. In a couple of weeks she'll be around my neck of the woods speaking and signing her book.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa! I haven't seen the book yet, only the previews on the website. But I know it is going to be amazing! So lucky of you to have PW signing the book in your town. I hope you will go with your camera and take loads of photos! :) Thank you for stopping by!
