I was never a fan of hot cross buns, so I decided to make a bun I that I love. I use plenty of fruit, the right amount of fresh spices and an enriched dough with butter and eggs. Even the glaze is a spiced brown sugar glaze, to give them that final soft, sweet and spicy taste. It took a few years to tweak and perfect, but we’ve been named as having the best hot cross buns in Melbourne a few times now, and I’m very proud and happy with this recipe.
