Easter is upon us, and I’m so excited to share a classic recipe with you. Beautiful, fluffy, golden hot cross buns, made with a butter-and-egg enriched brioche, studded with cranberries and raisins, and sprinkled throughout with fresh orange zest. This hot cross bun recipe is my favorite so far. It’s from the book Bouchon Bakery and I’ve revised it to make it more clear and convenient for the everyday cook. Lastly, these lightly sweetened buns are not complete without their crowning glory-a luxurious, creamy glaze spiced with cinnamon and, one of my personal faves, cardamon. The buns don’t have any spices but the glaze makes up for that and also makes them perfectly sweet. This glaze (or frosting?) is part of what makes these hot cross buns shine. Basically, do not skip.
Thanks Denae! I’ve wanted to make these and I trust your recipes💓
