I love Hot Cross Buns.
I have been buying them all lent but really would like to try making my own.
Last year I tried a couple of different recipes. One was okay, the other was a disaster. I thought I would ask here and see if any of you have a favourite recipe for them.

Therese-I don't have one, but if you find a good one, please let us know!
I love them too, but my family never saw anything special about them so I quit making them. I have several recipes, but I think you should find good ones on line also.
Good luck.
I wish I could help, but I always purchased mine, too. Good day to you! Cathy
Wow - what a coincidence! I was just thinking I'd make some. I am not personally fond of the "real" recipe, so thought I'd try it with just a raisin bread recipe...none of those other dried fruits.
I tagged you at my blog. Happy Holy Thursday!
Therese,
Just ran across a recipe here:

I think I'll try them for breakfast tomorrow.
