Oh my god Jemma you have outdone yourself with this super delish recipe! You are so good at explaining everything with your usual dose of humour. You are a wonderful teacher bet you are great to work with too!
YUMMY, such good timing as I was just searching for a hot cross bun recipe, I will be making the bun/roll version for myself. but my parents are in their 80's so they want the bun version.. Will the recipe work for the bun version as well?
This seems like it will be really sweet but at the same time I'm thinking I'm definitely making this for Easter. UPDATE: these were delicious but don’t do what I did and use all the frosting lol it gets a bit oversweet. A cross is enough. spread it around but don’t add more!
Looks great but why do the British always have to add fruits and nuts to everything? 😂. I'll have to omit all of that but I'm sure it will taste great ❤
In the states we have less than acceptable mixed fruit, so I do the following: Divide total weight by 19 to get 1 part, then: 1 part chopped lemon peel 1 part chopped orange peel 4 parts currants 4 parts glacé cherries (halved or quartered depending on bake) 9 parts sultanas (can divide between raisins and golden raisins) Example: 175 g mixed dried fruit for buns 9 g orange peel, chopped 9 g lemon peel, chopped 37 g currants 37 g glacé cherries, quartered 41 g seedless raisins 42 g golden raisins
This recipe looks really easy to do, ha! I'll still make an absolute car crash of it I'm sure, but can't wait to try it out ready for Easter Sunday and the family, keep it up gems love watching you're tutorials. 😋😋😋 wish me luck guys.
Just made these and feel like my dough was initially quite wet and i did have to add a bit of flour in the kneading process to get it springy and smooth. is that because i used plain flour? or maybe i stuffed up the recipe? Or is that normal? haha
Really want to give these a go but I don't have a stand mixer. I do have a food processor that has dough blades will that be able to start it and then kneed by hand for a bit longer?
I would guess it's possible. It will just take some work i e kneading. I don't own a stand mixer as well and I make all kinds of yeasted doughs on a regular basis. This dough seems to be quite sticky and those are usually tricky to work with because of the temptation to put in more flour to make it workable. Try to avoid that as much as possible because it would result in a tough baked good instead of fluffy and plushy goodness. I would use a wooden spoon in the beginning and switch to hands once the dough sort of comes together. Also, I would put in the egg together with the other liquid ingredients because it's quite difficult to mix through later. For incorporating the fruit, I would switch to the counter and work them in in batches. Good luck! ... now I really want to make these!
