I've been meaning to make some hot cross buns. I've found various recipes on the internet, but they do vary quite a bit.
Now, i've never made hot cross buns, not even the vegetarian version, so i have no idea which one to trust.:rolleyes:
does anyone happen to have a TRIED AND TRUSTED recipe for hot cross buns????

it's that time again - where do you buy your buns guys?

Sainsbury's are labelled vegan this year (previously they weren't even veggie as they had shellac on the raisins). Both the regular and the healthy version are labelled vegan. We may have eaten a few packs in the last couple of weeks...

It is a good year indeed for vegan hot cross buns. Especially as Cherry's making them:

yup, i'm totally taking a little too much advantage of the 'buy 2 for £1' offer on sainsbury's hot cross buns :S

i think to thank me for reopening this thread and answering your question piggy, you should send me some when you make them! - and also next year i should make my own instead of buying them!

Those look amazing! The only time I've ever heard about hot cross buns was when my 3rd grade class had to sing a really lame song about them one time. (Weird, I know) I've never seen these for sale anywhere in the USA. :(
