Hot Cross Buncakes
Easter is here again, (with alarming regularity) and rather than make another batch of hot cross buns, we thought these were easier and very yummy!
Whilst I LOVE Hot Cross Buns, they can be a bit of a fiddle, so this year, in honour of the usual recipe we offer, we thought hot cross buncakes would be a bit of fun and actually, they were completely delish and we highly recommend this option for the non bakers amongst you!
Hoppy Easter, and if you are so inclined, make sure you check out our MANY more traditional Hot Cross bun options. There are plenty;
White Chocolate and Cranberry Hot Cross Buns
Raspberry and Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Pudding
