Hot cross buns recipes
Hot cross buns, traditionally eaten on Good Friday, are steeped in superstition - a cross was cut into the top of them before baking to 'let the devil out' and some people kept buns from one Easter to the next as lucky charms. Sharing one of these sticky, fruity treats is meant to cement friendships, which is as good an excuse as any to bake a batch.

Mary's going to be so proud that you made your own hot cross buns this Easter. Lucky thing her recipe is completely foolproof.
For this recipe you will need a piping bag fitted with a 3mm nozzle, but if you don't have a nozzle you could use a piping bag or plastic food bag and snip the end off.
