Sorry - no photo, all eaten before I could say ''Smile!''
Recipe for Hot Cross Buns
In breadmaker - add ingredients as your machine specifies...
1 large egg, plus luke warm water to equal 1 cup
3T soft butter
3 1/4 cups high grade flour (minus 1T flour)
1/2tsp each ground allspice, mixed spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg
2T milk powder
1 1/2 T soft brown sugar
4tsp surebake yeast (Edmonds)
Set to dough cycle.
When cycle is finished remove from machine, add 1 cup mixed fruit and form into about 12 balls. Space evenly and allow to rise.
For the crosses - Combine 1/2C flour with 1/4tsp baking powder, then add enough milk to make a batter that can easily be piped onto buns.
Bake at 190 for 20-15 mins - keep an eye on this though!
I wish to lay a formal complaint re the lack of a photo. I believe that, in the interests of blogging and baking, a second batch should be required with photo opportunity to occur in the immediate moments items are removed from oven.
ReplyDeletePS Thanks for easy tip for making the crosses - now my not-cross buns (due to laziness) can be hot cross buns (even if this batch is the chocolate chippie variety!)
ReplyDeleteSorry. Very sorry. Apologies for this being too yummy so being eaten before I get photos of them!
