I made these hot cross buns at my first cookpad cookout meet up and had not posted the recipe, just stumbled upon the picture I had taken. To some extent, this is sort of like a piece of history because this was my very first recipe that I presented on my first day at cookpad! Hot cross buns are usually cooked during Easter but who says you cannot enjoy them any other day?
