Traditional Fruity and Spiced Hot Cross Buns: Bread-Maker,A wonderful old family recipe for HUGE and very light spiced Hot Cross Buns! I discovered that most of the hard work is taken out of making these, by proving & kneading them in the Bread Maker/Machine……unless you NEED to expel any frustrations, and then you MUST knead these yourself! You can make the crosses by either marking them before baking or, as I have done, by putting thinly rolled pastry crosses on top. An absolute “must” for the Spring and Easter Tea table! I also make these throughout the rest of the year – minus the crosses – for fruity, spiced English style teacakes!
