    I grew up stuffing myself with hot cross buns at Easter and mince pies at Christmas in the U.K. However, since moving to the States, I can find neither in the stores. I've learned to make mince pies and this will now be my go to recipe for hot cross buns! I imagine using a stand mixer would make a big difference so I'll be ordering one from Amazon and a scale to measure the dough for each bun would help them look more even once they bake. Finally, in the U.K. we cut them in half, toast them, and eat them with butter! Delicious!

      Definitely anti raisins but I but the large bags of craisins for trail mix and they rarely make it in bc I eat them by the handful.

    The softest, tastiest hot cross buns I've ever made! The orange and the rum just make everything even better. When I first tasted the buns it was like biting into a cloud (I guess), they are just so amazing! :) Thank you for the wonderful recipe! :))

    I don’t have a proofing drawer, but what I have learned (living in a cool climate) is to put the dough in the oven and simply leave the oven light on. The light raises the temp and keeps oven a few degrees warmer.

    I have never had a hot cross bun until I made this recipe this morning. They were amazing. I recommend the rum and orange juice soaked raisins. Made them so plump and delicious. The buns are all gone now and I’m a bit sad but they were super easy to make. Thank you 🙏

    Made the buns today. Tasty and delicious. My first batch didn’t rise even though I used instant yeast which has a long expiration date. The buns baked well but didn’t rise. Second batch was perfect. I mixed the instant yeast with a little warm water and sugar.
    However, what I realized was that some ingredients like sour cream, cardamom powder aren’t mentioned in your recipe link. The video ingredients don’t match with the recipe link.
    Yes, I don’t like raisins either. I used cranberries. It was ah-mazing.

  • @cupcakedolphin
    @cupcakedolphin 4 роки тому +2

    It's not really the flavor of raisins that gets so much dislike, but the bloated texture of a cooked raisin.
    To make them palatable, cut the raisins in half before baking or snip them in half with cooking shears. Voila! No more bloated ticks in your baked goods.

    I decided to use your buttercream for crosses. It’s about 6:30 am the next day. Here’s why not to vary from the flour slurry: when you microwave them for ten seconds, the cross disappears 😞. Oh, well, I used boozy currants so I’ll eat these and make more for later.!
    Seriously, this is the recipe I’ve been looking for my whole adult life. My pandemic Whole Foods order had two large cartons of End of Days sour cream! Thank you thank you!

    So when I try and make these, I’ll have to find a different fruit....maybe dried cherries....

    Raisins are NOT my jam BUT when I make my Caribbean grandmother's special Christmas rumcake with copious amounts of dried fruits including raisins....I add a ton or rum added and cherry wine (or Porto if that's not avails). I think it's the best solution for making very blah raisins seem so brilliant!

Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos and for helping make this time of (corona virus) self isolation a little easier to deal with. May you and for family be healthy and safe.

    I'm with you on the raisins... not a fan, happy to skip them, but don't mind them if they are soaked in something fun. I'm only HALF with you on cardamom. I bought some at Christmas to use in a German Stollen recipe, and it was wonderful. However, my husband made your carrot cake recipe and he said it was too prevalent and he didn't like that flavor there (and he missed the pineapple... can you do a carrot cake with pineapple?)

    you mentioned putting the wet ingred. with the unsalted butter into the micro. in 30 sec increment. then you said 110. is that until it reaches 110 degrees F?
