HOT Cross Buns PILLOW SOFT

- The hot cross bun's history is fascinating, blending religious, cultural, and culinary traditions.
The origin of sweetened, spiced buns can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The Greeks and Romans had versions of sweetened bread.
However, these ancient breads weren't specifically 'hot cross buns' as we know them today.
The bun with a cross became associated with Christian traditions, specifically with Good Friday. The cross on the bun symbolises the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It's believed that the tradition of eating these buns on Good Friday began in the 12th century. A monk in St Albans, England, is said to have marked the buns with a cross in honor of Good Friday, giving rise to the specific tradition of the 'hot cross bun.'
During the Tudor period in England, the London Clerk of Markets issued a decree forbidding the sale of hot cross buns and other spiced breads, except at burials, on Good Friday, or at Christmas. This may have helped to cement their association with these specific holidays.
Various superstitions were associated with hot cross buns baked on Good Friday, such as the belief that they wouldn't spoil throughout the following year and that they had medicinal or protective properties.
The recipe for hot cross buns has evolved over the centuries. Initially, they were probably made with plain dough without the sweet and spicy flavorings common today.
The modern version, enriched with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, sweetened with sugar or honey, and containing currants or raisins, became popular in the Victorian era.
The British colonists and migrants took the tradition of hot cross buns to various parts of the world, including North America and Australia, where it has become a staple during the Easter season.
Today, hot cross buns come in various flavours and versions, including chocolate, apple-cinnamon, and toffee, reflecting contemporary culinary trends and tastes.

Thank you. Best, Rik
Not “one a penny, two a penny”- these are priceless! Happy Easter to you, Rik!
Thank you. Same to you. Best, Rik
Here it's a best seller in supermarkets throughout the year not just for Easter. We luv it .
Thank you. Best, Rik
Man you keep me busy. I've never made as many chefs recipes as yours. You are a man after my own heart. I love those things.
Thank you. Best. Rik
I've never seen the cross made with flour. All ours are made with icing. Interesting. Thanks Rik.🎉
You are very welcome. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh Rik, these have always been my favorite, i liked getting them for young people who didn't know they existed, such a delightful discovery.
Thank you. Best, Rik
They look delicious. I've never thought of toasting a hot cross bun, I will noo, though. 😀
A traditional must! Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Mince pies, Easter biscuits and Hot Cross Buns- I could live on these three all year round
The Hot Cross Buns are great with a slice of cheese too
Thank you. Best. Rik
I used to get one every week on the way home from college, with a slice of cheddar cheese on. Sounds wrong but so delicious. 😊
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Can't go wrong with cheese.
O-M-G ...between the Lardy bread and these........🥰🥰🥰🤤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Living in Taiwan I forgot Easter is coming, nice buns Rik 👍
Cheers, mate. Thank you. Best, Rik
If only I could grab one of those buns and have it with my cup of tea. 🫖
They look amazing. Better than store bought any day.
Thank you. I've eaten 3 and have to stop! Toast tomorrow. Best, Rik
Wow Rik, you read my mind … I was just looking for Hot Crossed Buns recipes online when your notification popped up! (Love your stand mixer by the way, had my eye set on one of those, but was sadly outwith my budget, so had to settle for a lesser brand which I treated myself to for Xmas & haven’t used yet - so this will be it’s maiden voyage!)
So glad I watched your video, as I’d probably have thought I’d mucked along the way, producing such a wet/sticky dough mixture - none of the recipes I’ve read so far explains that this is to be expected, so I’d probably have added additional flour!🫣
As always thanks for sharing 🙏, you’ve got my mouth watering for a freshly baked, toasted Hot X Bun slathered in creamy butter!🧈 Yuuuum!!! 😋. 👨🍳👌
I was fortunate to have got the mixer years ago. I don't use it so often to be honest. I should and I will. It sounded a little rough to be honest. Good piece of kit. Only blown it up once, easy fixed. Yes this is a real sticky dough! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef It’s a beauty, possibly just needs a drop of oil if it’s not been in use for a long time. Thanks for taking the time to reply, wishing you & your family a Happy Easter. 🥚🐣🐰🌼🌷🌸🐇🐥💖
Used your pull apart method this time for Easter! So much softer. They were a real hit with hubby!! Thanks for posting.
Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik you are a great teacher, a natural! Because of that I am joining your Patreon.

Thank you! Cheers! Best, Rik
Those buns look incredible. That’s why this channel is inspiring, all the dishes are very achievable I have saved loads since trying quite a few. 😊
Glad you like them! Ric these things were too big to go in the wide toaster. I had to shove it in and then lift the lever to get them out. Anyone can make anything I do on here. I wont put anything up that can't be put on a table at home. Thank you. Best, Rik
I'll be trying this recipe for my husband, it looks simple enough. You make everything look so easy peasy. X
Thank you. Best. Rik
My husband asked me yesterday to make some hot cross buns this weekend. How fabulous that you did this recipe just as I need it because my HC buns are good but yours looks so much better. Will be using your recipe and hope they come out even half as good as yours. Happy Easter.
You got this! Thank you. Best. Rik
😋😋😋 Yummy. Nice with a cup of coffee ☕.
Thank you 😋Best, Rik
Used to love hot cross buns but what you get in the shops these days lack the substance and spice punch I remember. Lovely to have this, thank you.
So true! Thank you. Best, Rik
Still probably better than I can make without an oven.
I love hot cross buns. My mum used to make them when we were very young. But I've never made my own. I bet they smell as amazing as they look. Thanks for sharing Rik. Happy Easter.
Yes nice recipe this, Jenny. Thank you. Happy Easter. Best. Rik
Im going to make them they look lovely proper hot cross buns like I remember as a kid, by the way have just received my Auora suet so pies are on the menu at the weekend 👍🥰
Sounds fantastic! Thank you. Best. Rik
Oh, its great to know how to make these cross buns.Thank you chef and Happy Easter to everybody
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks for a great recipe and demo on your delectable hot x buns. Will try it over the weekend.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
hi I luv baking and hot cross buns especially. Love all fruity cakes.I will try these but without eggs.Happy Easter and lots of love from South Africa
Thank you. Love to SA Best, Rik
Thanks for the recipe! It went well. Only thing I’d change is the “cross recipe” I had too much leftover so will be halving that part next time 😇
Self notes:
-Decrease Cross ingredients
-Try to mix longer at beginning
-64g egg (no shell)
- 200g D.fruits instead (personal preference)
-170-180 //25mins
-98-100g each
Use largest Pyrex with lined paper

Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik

Happy Easter, mate. Thank you. Best. Rik
How good do those Hot Cross Buns look hey ? Fantabulous I bet !! Great to freeze too if you dont need them until Easter Sunday, thanks so much Rik. It would be great to meet your wife on your channel one day, does everyone agree ?

Thank you. Best, Rik
WOW RICK YOU THE BEST.. WITH YOUR TEACHING I WILL MAKE my first batch of hotcross buns👌💯🤦
Go for it, you got this! Thank you. Best. Rik
I made this, and it was delicious! Since I was a child , after learning the Hot Cross Bun poem, I have wanted to try them. I've never seen or eaten one before. Thank you for teaching this recipe!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I'll be making these on Good Friday, coming up on March 29th, I'll add a little cardamon to the mixed spice, and add a little dried sour cherries to the peel, golden raisin, black currant mix! Happy Easter, Beannachtai na Cásca!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik! Just taste tested 'your HCB - delicious!! It was a truly sticky experience, but so worth it. I reduced the fruit by half as I thought that would be enough for our taste. Happy Easter to you and your lovely wife.🐣🐥🌷
Well done! Thank you. Best, Rik
How did you know I was looking for a good recipe for these? 🤣🤣 Last year I attempted sourdough hot cross buns for Easter but this time I think that I'd like to give yours a go!
Not keen on the sourdough myself for these. Thank you. Best. Rik
Yeah.. they were alright but not something I'd make again! Sourdough isn't really worth the effort for me personally. I'd rather bake with yeast from the store 😊. Happy Easter by the way, I hope that it's a good one! 🥕🥚🐇🐣🌱
I agree with you. Thank you. Best. Rik@@j.e.m.7182
Just made it. Was very sticky to work with. Turned out very good. I used half amount fruit and more citrus peel because my family dont like what they call dead flies. Slathered margerine on mine - last of the butter went into the mix. So good.
Yes its a sticky mix. Thank you. Best, Rik
Delicious! I would love to see you make Chelsea buns. Just can't seem to get them anymore!
Thank you. Best. Rik
Happy Easter to you also! Hot cross buns! Yum!
Thanks, mate. Happy Easter. Thank you. Best. Rik

Your hot cross buns look light as a feather Rik I’m looking forward to making them for Easter , I’ve made others in the past but they always turn out heavy , also my crosses were like concrete 😂so I turned to using icing lol , but don’t think I had added oil to the flour and water mix so fingers crossed for me 🤞happy Easter 🐣Amanda xx
I didn't do anything, to be honest. It was all mixer and oven. Fingers crossed, you got this. Thank you. Best, Rik
