These buns are so yummy! I’ve made them twice this week. Once with icing and the other time without. They’re just as tasty either way. A slightly sweet, light lemon flavored roll is nice with a cup of coffee. I’ve been reading your sites since your youngest Fishchick was around 6.I still come back for your great tips and delicious recipes, especially the lasagne. You’re one of the few bloggers hanging in there and I’m glad to see it!

Making these for Easter again this year because they were so good last year.

My parents would make these 2-3 times a year. They were from Scotland. Add some candied fruit with currents and you would be spot on. She would make the kid friendly kind with 2 types of raisins as I detest the candied fruit! 🙂
I learned that song when I was young and taught it too my children.
Your post brought back happy memories for me….thank you.

I learned a couple of extra lines in that nursery rhyme: “If you have no daughters/ Give them to your sons./ But if you have none of these little elves,/ Then you must eat them all yourselves!” The recipe sounds like I’d want to do just that! 🙂 Thanks!
Lucky
Every year I plan to make these but never have. Maybe this will be the year!

If you add currants you have three kinds of raisins to represent the Trinity and they are all in one bun because there is only one God….
I’m a ok with the CA flair! These make me think of mini raisin bread loaves lol

mmmmmm those look good! I have never made (or had) Hot Cross Buns before. I think I need to do something about that!

If you added in candied lemon peel (or candied citron or candied orange peel) it would be just a trifle more authentic. You can also make the cross on the top with strips of dough. Also, a sugar/water wash before baking helps them to be golden brown while still moist on top.
