Making hot cross buns tomorrow in our men's kitchen. If all turns out well, we'll consider sharing.
Also making the old favourite, Minestrone soup which might have to be frozen as it's going to be a hot day tomorrow.

Re: Hot Cross Buns
How did they turn out, Hughie? and I thought you were going into Autumn, Winter? My daughter works in a bakery, not as a baker though she's a wee dab hand at that (when she wants to or needs must, lol!). She brought me a hot cross bun, I'll resist the jokes, and here the cross is icng where I remember them as pastry crosses, plus, they have a lot of candied peel, ginger ..don't remember that. It was good, typical U.S. style, large, took me 3 goes!

Re: Hot Cross Buns
The hot cross buns turned out quiet nice, though a wee bit heavy, Morag. Warmed them up and had them with cinnamon flavoured butter. Yes, we are half way through Autumn - we'll soon have to turn the heating on.

Reminds me of my Granddaughter's favourite joke she's been laughing at it since she was tiny.

Re: Hot Cross Buns
Something like:
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny
Hot cross buns.
If you have no daughters
get them for your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny
Hot cross buns.
If you have no daughters
get them for your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

Re: Hot Cross Buns
Little cafe I go to had a photo up saying not cross buns, substituted the crosses with smiles, thought it was very clever..
Re: Hot Cross Buns
The hot cross buns the men made were really good. We heated our up too but nothing as fancy as cinnamon butter, just the plain stuff.

Netta, the cinnamon butter is lovely on toasted raisin bread too.
