Easy Easter Hot Cross Buns Recipe. These homemade Hot Cross Buns are as traditional as they come! Soft and fluffy with juicy raisins and a sweet glaze top, they’re perfect for Easter! Of all the Easter recipes I see every year, hot cross buns are probably my favorite. The sweet and spicy taste always takes me back to when I was a kid. I’d eat them in the weeks leading up to Easter and then be bummed to have to wait another year to see them again. ![]() ![]() I posted a different hot cross bun recipe last year but wanted to come up with an easier, no- hassle recipe for this Easter. This time I based the dough on a recipe I’ve been using a lot lately. I use it for any sort of sweet bread I need to make, like this Cinnamon Crumb Bread or these obnoxiously good Triple Berry Breakfast Buns and it hasn’t let me down yet! Like all yeast recipes, waiting is the hardest part. Take a deep breath and relax while the yeast works its bubbly magic, or you could finish all of the other crap from the list on your Post- It. Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday two days before Easter Sunday. So if you decide to make these, Thursday would be the best time. Then all you have to do on Friday if you’re like me, is slice them in half and spread a thick layer of salty butter on the inside. So I know you’re looking at my buns and asking yourself where’s the frosting? Sorry, but I grew up with the traditional flour and water mixture for the cross. If you prefer the frosting version, just skip step #1. Happy Easter! This post has been updated from its original publish date with slight recipe tweaks and new photography.
