Instructions to make Hot Cross Buns:
- Place first 9 ingredients (from the egg to instant dry yeast) in a mixing bowl and combine well. Warm milk, about body temperature works well, but not too hot..
- Add flour into the bowl in several batches and mix the dough just until it comes together..
- Put the dough into a plastic bag and knead until it becomes smooth and glossy, about 4-5 mins..
- Drain the water from raisins and add into the bag. Knead until they are spread evenly in the dough..
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it comes twice as big, about 1 hour. I used my heating pad under the bag!.
- Devide the dough into 12 even pieces and make balls. Put them on your baking tray and let them rise another 1 hour until they become twice as big again. I covered them with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out..
- While you are waiting, make the dough for the crosses and dorure. Place flour, sugar and water in a mixing bowl and combine well until it becomes smooth. Put it into a small plastic bag..
- Place egg and salt in a small bowl, mix well and strain..
- Preheart your oven to 350°F/175 ℃..
- When your buns have risen, make the crosses on them. Cut a corner of the small bag, and squeeze the dough on the buns..
- Brush the dorure on the buns and put them in your oven. Bake for 20 mins..
- While you are baking the buns, make the syrup. Place sugar and hot water in a small bowl, and microwave 1 min..
- When the buns are done, brush on the syrup while they are still hot. Let them dry..
- Serve warm. Enjoy just by themselves, or with butter, preserves, coffee, milk tea, or whatever you like :).
