Hot Cross Buns


I usually start making them sometime in Lent…

they smell like happiness - taste like home - and flood my heart with kitchen memories

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup butter

1/2-1 cup milk


mix together, adding milk just until ball is formed.

Knead 4 minutes & then ADD IN:


1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup currants


Knead 1 minute more or until incorporated


Cover & rest 1 hr - stretch & fold


Cover & rest 1 hr - stretch & fold
