One a penny, two a penny...

Hot Cross Buns!  I thought I would give hot cross buns a try, since it's an appropriate time of year to give them a whirl.  I used a Paul Hollywood recipe which was in the Radio Times, but is also on the BBC Good Food website.  Whilst I am not convinced about his status as Silver Fox (sorry Paul, you're just not my type!) the recipe was pretty easy to follow.

As you can see, they look like the genuine article, and they taste pretty good as well.  However, I don't think you could do them in much less than four hours with all the kneading and rising and resting that's required.  So next year, I won't feel guilty about buying them from M&S :-)
