Even the mixed spice is home made.
Home made mixed spice? Heck, you really love cooking!! :P
REAL hot cross buns 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Tim has this terrible habit of making your mouth water......and I dont even like hot cross buns!! ;D
Made the fatal mistake of having to move them after the 2nd rise.
Were the crosses slashed into the buns or made of flour&water paste, etc. Tim?
Did you hand-make or start the dough off in a bread maker?
Is it worth (spect I know the answer here, but heck! I'll ask anyway..) making ones own mixed spice?
and why oh why didn't I even have ONE last Friday? I really love them... :'(
Having tried them out on both branches of the Family - with some acclaim - I have to say that, whereas Tesco & Co-op buns are hollowly squidgy inside, these do have some substance.
Thanks, Delia. Again!!
We crossed.
1. Slashed - gently!
2. Hand only. I have the time.
3. Can't say it's better, but just love freshly ground spices. And you choose your own.
