I do a needless.. kneadless spicy fruit loaf mix as my buns.. 50/50 saltanas & raisins, dried apricot, prunes & figs.. I only ever use soft brown sugar.. 5 spice & cinnamon, milk powder.. all in a warm bowl.. just 1 teaspoon of yeast but.. I leave to rise overnight to bake early morning.. a large square pizza stone.. the prunes & dates make for a real smooth mellow sweetness & I think give the yeast a good kick.. huge rise & very light.. cheers from Palmy.. doing a $50 challenge too 👌

For years, like decades really, I have failed at hot cross buns, some so inedible the chooks wouldn't touch them!! But yesterday I followed your recipe and instructions and was gobsmacked to not only produce something edible and delicious but truly better than a bought one. I love your videos and the authentic, relatable self that you are. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us all.

Hello sweets, another kiwi here 🫶🏼 from the small town of Marton (in between palmy north and Whanganui) I just wanted to say hi and thank you, because of you and your videos I am now going to be stocking up on home made cake mix (I never get box cakes cause I don’t like the taste so always baked from scratch, your way is so much easier and faster) buying in bulk and also onion prep and garlic pucks are just genius, from a disabled mum of 2 disabled girls with a disabled husband thank you.. thank you, thank you, thank you for making my life easier 🥰🥰 also I’m going to try and make these hot cross buns (both lots) for hubby and my in laws (I only eat the chocolate ones)😊 I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter 🥰🥰 oh I forgot to say I got some of those bag stands they are amazing 🤩 ❤

Hello, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. You could send it to my email if you like. I love to see everyone's creations :-0

Another way to prove buns is in the fridge. I often make my buns or rolls in the evening, form them, cover them, and stick them in the fridge for up to a couple of days. Usually just overnight, but there is no change if leaving them longer. Bring them up to room temperature using any of your warm the dough methods, and bake as usual. This also has the benefit of a slow rise which makes a particularly tender crumb. Very convenient too for a busy lifestyle. Can freeze at that stage also.

@FarmersWifeHomestead

Yes, Thank you for mentioning this as I completely forgot to. I often freeze my bread this way and I have a video on it as well. Thanks so much for leaving your suggestions here for others.

You’re world famous in Aotearoa now, Stacey! Love your channel. We try to do similar things with our food budget because we hate waste. One thing that no cookery blogs cover is the cost of power while cooking. We use Electric Kiwi as our supplier. They give us an hour of free power every day so we endeavour to cook for the day in that hour. Baking, hob cooking, the lot! It’s amazing what you can get done in an hour if you prepare ahead of time and batch bake. Off to try your hot X buns next!

I’ve often wondered about that. I’m Australian but I know tha South Africa has terrible power problems too.i have an old recipe book that teaches how to cook from the highest temperature down to the lowest in a day.

Wow Stacey- thanks for de-mystifying Hot Cross Buns, I always assumed it would be super hard to make them! I will definitely try this! I absolutely love how you go through each step! Congrats on the growth of your channel - reaffirms that your posts are hitting the spot- please keep em coming!😊

I made the chocolate ones exactly as the recipe says. They were wonderful. Grandkids gobbled them up.

I’m your next door neighbour in AUS. Just watched your video and can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you for your no-fuss style of baking. Will definitely watch your other videos. Will be looking out for your crumpet recipe. 👍

For 40 years I've been making hot x buns. By hand, machine industrial machine, the womans magazine bake book recipe i found works the best. Dont skip the kneading. Then on Good Friday , I make 50 or so and the nabours and us get a feed. Then i wait another year, im so done. White chocolate and cranberries are the go.

Love watching your videos.

oh yum those look fabulous! I love hot cross buns so much and your recipe is so good. they look amazing.

Delicious.

I love watching you as you are a natural. Thank you for sharing.💞

Beautiful.. I can't wait to try

They look amazing 🤩

It's such a joy to watch you. I will absolutely make these. Thank you!

Love your channel ❤USA, California

I made both your hot cross buns this Easter after you inspired me with your recipe. Thank you for teaching me how. We loved them, and I'll make them outside of Easter , now that I know how. Thank you so much❤

Bless your hands, these look amazing, hi from Ireland

I love that you plug along with a wonky oven door! That reminds me of times long gone but dearly missed. Found your Chanel today and I love your work, very real and authentic.

I can't wait to try....they look delicious! Thank you soooo much.❤

I tried these this afternoon, they turned out fantastic! I had been wanting to try baking hot x buns again, the last recipe I attempted was very complicated and they turned out doughy. These were so fast to make - I decided to make them at 3pm and they were cooling on a rack at 5:30pm! So easy! I did the chocolate, made 15 buns like you did, they are a great size and the texture is light and fluffy like store bought. I don't have a fancy mixer but I did use the dough hooks on my electric mixer and kneaded that way for a few minutes. I will be making more for Easter, thank you!

Thank you so much for your recipes. My hubby is hooked on crumpets and he loves hot Cross Buns. I have heard many KZreadrs complain about the haters. We are people, none of us perfect. Hollywood types pay oodles of $$ to fix their imperfections and end up looking fake. It would be a sad world if we all looked alike!! Keep your chin up and live your best life!! Luv your videos and spirit!!

Oh my word they look fabulous. I want to give your recipe a try. I will let you know if I do! They look so delicious. I have only made hot cross buns once when I was in standard 1 lol lol, I'm 56 now, I am surprised I can still remember. Every year I say I am going to make hot cross buns but don't. Yours will be the only channel I checkout to see how it is done because I love your recipe and how easy peasy it looked. Re - the bottled plums, um, I found out why my nana and mum only made jam with Maribelle plums, they turned to mush in seconds with the heat. You live and you learn

Looks delicious 😋 😍

Oh my! They look wonderful and me on a no bread diet for 10 more days. I will be trying then though. Thank you for the instructions!! They will be great for Easter

Stacy, I am a new subscriber and I just love your down to earth manner. Putting the spoon to help the oven door is just so down to earth approach and I love it. Your hot cross buns looks delicious and amazing. I must give these a try. Never heard of chocolate hot cross buns before, now I have. Thank you for sharing. Will let you know how mine works out. Just got to source milk powder. Have a lovely day.

Hi Stacey, I’m live in AK, this recipe almost the same as Edmond cookbook. I will give this a go, it’s been years, as kids grown I didn’t find the need to bake. You inspired me to make them again. Mine always came out supersized like your chocolate ones. I never tried chocolate and I used very little sultanas. ❤

SUCCESS ......Stacy l made another batch and they are beautiful. I had to borrow my sisters mixer as l could not find my dough mixers and hers didnt mix down to the bottom of the bowl, however l found mine and they turned out great. Thank you so much. CRUMPETS NEXT

I found your channel yesterday MARCH 18 and I watched your pizza dough recipe making.i decided im gonna try this recipe as I have made millions (it seems) recipes for pizza dough and just didn’t care for any of them. I couldn’t get over how nice the dough came out in my KITCHEN AID STAND MIXER . IT WAS SO,PLIABLE AND SMOOTH . It rolled out perfectly, so Thankyou Stacey for that recipe. ALBERTA,Canada.

Hi there Stacey from South Africa 👋🇿🇦. Your channel popped onto my feed 😊. I love baking, particularly with dough & pastry, but for some reason I have always been hesitant to make hot cross buns, but thanks to your informative video, this is the year that I will give them a try! Many thanks 👩‍🍳

I just made these today and not only are they really easy to make, but they are so delicious too, thanks so much, I am going to freeze most of them for Easter, but I just had to try one as it was cooling down. I made one batch but halved it and used sultanas in one lot and choc chips in the other lot, both are fantastic, this recipe is a definite Keeper!!

My young niece and I made these yesterday (Easter Sunday) for the extended family. Easy as, and very yummy! I'm going to add more spices next time just as a personal preference, but the traditional, fruit-free, chocolate and even a batch made with GF flour were very much appreciated by all. (The GF ones weren't as fluffy, as per usual, but still worked quite well.) Thank you for a great recipe!

Looks so so good and easy! I must try it this year. I did try making hot cross buns from another recipe before but it didn't turn out well. I will surely let you know the results as soon as i do so, perhaps before Easter Sunday. Thwnks for sharing 😊

Im in the Pacific Northwest of the US. For Easter, in cooler parts of the west it seems most people have an indoor meal with ham sweet potatoes and the like. In the warmer southern states its often an outdoor affair. Im not positive what they tend to eat. I believe its more like picnic food. Both are amazing and should be tried at least once in your life❤ thanks for sharing darlin ❤❤

Hello from the UK. I will be trying these sometime soon, hopefully, especially the chocolate version! I have made fruit ones before but was a bread machine recipe and quite some time ago, I believe they were good though. I only found your channel about a week or two ago and love the video's, have saved quite a few for future reference 😀 I did try your crumpet recipe last week but as I don't have any rings or empty tuna cans I just made them freeform and they were more like pikelets but still delicious and all got eaten! 🙂 Thank you for your video's and I'd love to live on a homestead or mini farm of sorts but currently live in a city with no garden even and don't know anyone who lives like this at all, nor do I really have a clue where I'd start anyway at 50+ !! However, I can dream! 😂

How refreshing to find your channel. Tired of watching USA homesteaders. Your ad hoc measurements make me smile 😊 def. making this recipe.

We just followed your recipe and we are eating the buns as I type this. They turned out amazing! Thank you :)

Just found this channel.. so down to earth, will be watching her.

Made the spicey buns yesterday and they turned out amazingly. They had a really nice soft texture and much better than any other buns I have tried. I don't have a mixer and puzzled for a bit how to best add the butter. In the end I just rubbed it into the dry ingredients and that worked well. They were delicous even when they were not heated up. Thanks for the video and the tips along the way.
