Table For Five

It's Easter and that means two things, Chocolate and Hot Crossed Buns. Of course, the magic bunny brings the chocolate, so all I have to worry about is the buns. Do you remember when Hot Crossed Buns were full of flavour? A quick warning, these buns are not something you can just 'whip up' in a hurry. Prep time is approximately 3 hours but don't panic, 2 1/2 of those are spent allowing the dough to rise, so the labour itself should take less than 30 minutes all together. Spiced Hot Crossed Buns

I love spending time in the kitchen with my husband, there's something so satisfying and enjoyable about creating something special together. When i say getting creative in the kitchen I am, of course, talking about food just to be clear.  Combining two of my favourite things in one place. Last year my talented understudy made some pretty nice Hot Cross Buns, nice enough for me to request a repeat. I think he knocked it right out of the park this year with this recipe though. Perfect mix of spices and fruit and the density is just right.
