For the last few years, on Good Friday, I have made Hot Cross Buns and this year was no different except for the fact that I forgot to put the orange zest in the dough so I made orange icing for the crosses, which was a little runny. The other thing is, I can't eat them because I am GFV (gluten free vegan) but I am happy to make them because the Mister has already eaten 4 of them with his morning coffee. I have realized over the last week that I just love the process of baking and really enjoy watching people eat what I have made for them. I made an apple pie last weekend and now these buns. Some day I will have my bakery or bed and breakfast or I will just throw a lot of parties so I can bake things for people.
Try them out, you will love them, but don't forget to add the orange zest to the dough before it rises.
