I love buns.
The hot cross variety. I mean... all buns, in all forms, but specifically I'm talking about these spiced sultana balls that make my heart sing approximately once a year.
Because as much as I love a hot cross bun, I don't give them a second thought for 11 out of 12 months of the year.
I am a neglectful lover.
Watch: Another recipe we love? This one for churros! Post continues below.
There's also something about Easter that makes me want to try to make my own hot cross buns, and why would you do that when you can buy two packs from Woolies for $6??? you ask.
And you have a very good point. Because baking BREAD with YEAST and KNEADING is a notoriously frightening prospect.
Except.
It is not frightening. Or even difficult. Yeast? Easy to work with. And kneading? It isn't even necessary and we've been a fed a lie our entire lives...
It's no secret that Nagi Maehashi, AKA the genius and food goddess behind RecipeTin Eats, has come up with so many banger recipes, which she shares over on her website. And she sneakily snuck a hot cross bun recipe that she *humbly* (also... accurately) calls "the world’s easiest hot cross buns recipe!"
