mostin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) I made some hot cross buns today from an Ocado recipe I downloaded. It didn't make much sense though . I've checked the omlet cook book and can't find one there. Does anybody have a good one, with eggs in that they like?

Groovychook Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I used this one today! http://www.lakeland.co.uk/090326-hotcrossbuns?src=email&email=090326eastereditorial It came in the latest email from Lakeland. Only uses 1 egg but they taste very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 There's one on Netmums http://www.netmums.com/food/Easter_Recipes.961/, it's about the 5th recipe down. The other Easter baking recipes sound nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I tried the Lakeland one and it needs (IMHO) a bit more cinammon and a bit more fruit. Having said that I also used a square pan as per the instructions but mine was a touch too small. Then a further complication was the cooking instrucitons which said " Bake in moderately hot oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to moderate and bake for a further 15 minutes" As a fairly new Aga owner this confused me a bit as I had it in the Roasting oven but then the baking oven then back to the roasting oven. Bottom line is they don't LOOK very nice - I kinds rushed the crosses as well as it was getting late and I wanted to watch Casualty (hey what can I say - I'm a 40 year old single mother and it's the only fun I get on a Saturday night!). BUT they do taste delicious except what I said right at the beginning - they would be better with more fruit and cinammon. Anyway this sounds very long winded but its a good excuse before I show you the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Look good, thanks. I agree, I always think these recipes are too light on the cinammon, but then I just love it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've just had a go at making some, using the recipe on Netmums that I posted before. There's pictures on my blog here http://welshpurpletree.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/hot-cross-buns/ Like I say in my blog post, the dough didn't seem to rise very much, but they tasted yummy. I will have another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I use Delia's recipe for Breadmaker Hot Cross Buns... the dough is made in the BM, then you shape the buns and bake them conventionally http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/breadmaker-hot-cross-buns,1436,RC.html When looking for that recipe link I saw she had another hot cross bun recipe too... http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/hot-cross-buns,1419,RC.html yum!

I will have another go. They look very nice, yum yum. I'm really hungry now after looking at all these fab pictures of buns . I just had the last 2 of the Ocado batch of hot cross buns I made this morning, so I will be using one of the above recipies for some more for the easter weekend.

..lay a little egg for me Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ha! Wish I'd checked this post before I started hot cross bun dough in my breadmaker just now (Panasonic recipe)! If it is good I'll let you know though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I tried the same recipe again but used 3x as much cinammon and an extra 100g of fruit. I also just made them bun shaped and they are YUMMY - I'll add a pic later when I've downloaded them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I've just found another recipe - on the Paddington Bear website! It seems similar to the other recipe from Netmums, but you heat the milk before adding it, which seems a good idea. I might try this tomorrow. http://www.paddingtonbear.co.uk/en/1/actcoohot.mxs If Paddington says they're yummy, then they must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
