Hot Cross Buns - which recipe to use?

[Lovemythermo]

Armed with my new found bread/bun making confidence I thought I would get started on a practice round of HCB's before I serve them to my work mates. I've seen the reviews and trawled through the many pages on the forum.

My question now is, which is the best recipe to use? they all look divine!

I have made the one in the EDC several times and find it great. I don't bother with the crosses. I haven't tried another recipe. the kids just go crazy for them!  It takes a while the first time you do them, after that its a piece of cake (bun).

I use the EDC recipe too LMT.  You've read all the reviews so you can adjust things to suit yourself from some of the suggestions given there.

We had a few tweaks on the EDC recipe last year.  Love this recipe still though!

I've made 4 separate batches from the EDC receipe. I have found that the mixture can be a little wet so i just sprinkle in some flour whilst its kneading to make the consistency I like.
I have had friends and family ask me to make them to their liking so I have done ones with no peel, ones with sultanas only and, no fruit ones also. Next i would like to try some choc chips thrown in.
Most of the comments from work is that these were the fisrt homemade hot cross buns they have ever had, yet they are so easy to make. Im very impressed and already taking orders for Easter. No excuse for all TM owners not to have fresh hot cross buns for easter!!!

ThermoNix I may just need to take you up on that challenge - much to my family's delight!

Make mine, make mine .   Made these at the cooking demo and they looked great.  Shameless aren't I.

Where is your recipe achookwoman? Wanted to post a like (not that I know how to do it) but couldn't find the recipe.

I converted my favourite Hot Cross Bun recipe for the TM last week.

Why not try a few different recipes and see which you prefer? I find I never have a shortage of willing taste testers when it comes to Hot Cross Buns

Mkr, I made10 doz. Hot x buns last year, to get the recipe to our liking.  I will be sticking with it.

I haven't had success with any of the recipes I tried other than Bill Grainger's Scrolls. I'm going to use that recipe this year.

achookwoman my comment was directed to the OP as they asked what recipe to use. Not suggesting you should try something different if you already have one you love!
