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!

xoxo,

  6. I really do like the new look. I need to update my blog. It is clean, but very plain.
    These 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.

  16. Hi 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.
