Hot Cross Buns



Ingredients
250g strong white flour
250g plain white flour
125ml warm milk
125ml warm water
5g dried yeast
10g salt
50g caster sugar
1 egg
50g butter
200g raisins, currants & saltanas mixed
2 tbsp whisky marmalade (see base of post for recipe if you want to make it yourself)
ladle of starer optional (see base post for link)
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tsp cinnamon

Crosses
50g of plane flour
100ml water

Glaze 
 2 tbsp of sugar
1 tbsp of water melted together

These remind me of brioche using eggs and butter in the flour mix and it is very sloppy so use a food unless you want really messy hands.


  • Combine flour, water, milk, yeast, starter,salt and sugar and bring together with a dough hook 
  • Add the egg and butter and mix up to a combined sticky dough
  • Add fruit, marmalade and spice mix till silky and then leave to prove till doubled in size
  • Knock back and divide and shape into buns and prove again until doubled 
  • Mix up the water and flour for the crosses and pipe this across the top of the buns
  • Bake at 200c for 15-20 mins 
  • Mix up the sugar water glaze in the microwave and when the buns come out of the oven give them a brush
