Thank you Gemma, the only time I made hot cross buns ,I was still at school where we were taught how to bake, rather a long time ago so thank you for this recipe I will now bake again xx

You took me down memory lane. I loved hot cross buns & looked forward to those treats as a kid on Good Friday, prepared by the Irish Nuns who were my educators. God Bless them! Thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you for sharing one of your traditions for Good Friday, the Cross makes sense. I will try them.

These look absolutely delicious. Perfect for Easter, thanks for sharing. 😊

A Blessed Happy Easter to you Gemma. I made these for Good Friday with modifications to accommodate the dietary needs of some family members. I used very little sugar, sultanas, flour/ water mixture to make cross prior to baking. I glazed them with pure monastic honey. They came out good, everyone had at least 2 buns, enjiying them. Some of us had them with with Kerrygold butter & monastic jams, others just the butter! I'll try the full recipe some day to share with friends. Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh that is very yummy!!!

Just like we have them in the Caribbean!! We also add a slice of new Zealand cheddar yummm.

There is an actual Allspice plant. While in Jamaica we walked through the very tall bushes and I put a handful of leaves in my waist pack. Back in the US I met a chef who said you have to use Allspice (ground berries) to season her dish. I asked if I could use leaves instead. Chef said “No such thing.” I pulled some out of my waist pack and the room was filled with the aroma of Allspice. So it is a spice of it’s own. It grows in places like Jamaica. It got the name because it smells and tastes like the mixed spices. 😀
