I know it is now 3 years old but after recently discovering this blog, I knew exactly where to look when I wanted a recipe for hot cross buns - a tried and true recipe from Rhonda. I had a trial run yesterday and apart from choosing to use more spice it is perfect. I will have house guests from overseas at Easter and am looking forward to serving fresh, home-made buns. Thank you, once again.Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747146605520336984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-25111681335624145162008-03-22T16:33:00.000+10:002008-03-22T16:33:00.000+10:00Yum - thank you Rhonda.

I had been wondering how to provide friends and family with a little Easter gift without resorting to buying chocolate eggs (seem to be enough of them around without me buying any). I made up a batch of these today for giving tomorrow - had to sneak one to try ;). They are really delicious and an easy recipe too. <BR/><BR/>Is this something North American readers usually have, I wonder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-2939107719163726292008-03-21T07:59:00.000+10:002008-03-21T07:59:00.000+10:00I just made a batch of these, they were so yummy, ...I just made a batch of these, they were so yummy, I wil be making them again for Easter morning.

However, good breadmaking flour is a high protein flour, sometimes called strong flour. You could make your own bread flour by adding a teaspoon of gluten flour to every cup of plain flour.<BR/>You can generally find bread flour at the supermarket or in bulk food or health food stores.Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-76121324585838574672008-03-17T06:59:00.000+10:002008-03-17T06:59:00.000+10:00Yummo!!
