There is no big public holiday fest over Easter like I'm used to, and I haven't seen many hot cross buns in the supermarkets. I know there aren't any with choc chips in them, as that is an automatic buy from the grocery shopper in the family...
So, with small, overexcited helpers, I set out to make some, using our newly obtained breadmaker to make the dough. I'm pretty pleased with the results. They are not as spiced as the ones I'm used to, and the crosses are made out of an icing mixture, which just invites small consumers to eat the top off the bun and leave the rest! The next challenge is making more to go into hubby's work.
They are a bit long to make with kids, all the rising and sitting is just not really tolerated, and I spent the morning explaining the concept of bread making to people who struggle with the time taken to make choc chip biscuits.
