Hot Blank Buns

V2 of the hot cross buns are ready! We used the bread maker recipe again and indeed I had not clipped the container into the oven properly which is why it didn’t work last week. This time we didn’t put the fruit/sugar ingredients in before the kneading cycle was finished so there was still some hand kneading required at the end.

The white stuff for the crosses was too thick last week, and this week too thin to maintain a pattern! It squirted all over the place not maintaining any shape and dribbled all down the sides.

However the house smells amazing and the shiny little buns with no sign of white lines or crosses are cooling on the bench.
