Hot Cross Buns are a seasonal yeast bread traditionally served on Good Friday. Like pineapple tarts to Chinese New Year. Tang Yuan to Winter Solastic.The usual hot cross bun is made with spices like ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves and has lots of raisins or other candied fruit.
Sheen & daddy don't like the taste of a real hot cross bun. So I did my own version - using my favourite recipe here with custard filling. Ya, it is more like a pudding bread.
I only added the symbolical "cross" on top of the buns using the custard mixture (see C below) after the 2nd proofing.

- Just before baking, using (C) pipe a cross on top of the bread.
