HOT CROSS BUNS (NO ABM)
I made these using 3 different recipes (more spice, more fruit, good method). Aussies-I uses Woolworths Select mixed dried fruit but picked out the glace cherries! Prep time doesn't include all the rising and so on. They took 2 hours to make start to finish, but I Face Booked and got dinner ready while they were rising!

Steps:
- Combine the yeast, sugar and tepid milk in a bowl, cover with cling wrap.
- Stand in a warm place (approx 10 mins) until mixture foams and froths.
- Sift flour and spices into a large bowl.
- Rub in butter using a broad bladed knife then finish with fingertips.
- Toss the fruit through the flour, to coat the fruit.
- Stir in yeast/sugar/milk micture, the lightly beaten egg and mix to a sticky dough.
- Cover with cling wrap and stand in a warm place for 45-60 minutes until dough has doubled in size.
- Grease a square, deep sided cake pan (20-25cm)
- Knock down the dough and gently knead on a lightly floured surface for approximately 5 minutes until dough is smooth and silky.
- 1Cut dough in half, knead lightly, cut each half in half again and continue until you have 16 balls of dough.
- 1Place balls into greased cooking pan, cover with cling wrap and stand in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until the dough has risen to the top. 4 x 4 balls in each row
- To make the flour paste, combine the flour sugar and water to form a thick paste. Cover with cling wrap, or place into piping bag with medium sized round nozzle attached. I used a zip lock bag with a corner cut out.
- Either pipe or drizzle flour paste into 'cross' shape on top of each bun - keep piping fluid by doing four at a time, first in one direction then rotate the pan and complete the cross.
- Preheat oven to 200DegC
- When buns have risen bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Turn out onto tea towel then place wire rack on top, invert and cool (top side up).
- Mix caster sugar with boiling water and brush generously over each bun while still warm.

HOT CROSS BUNS (NO KNEAD)
This recipe saved me when my stand mixer died on me and I wanted fresh buns for breakfast. I was worried these wouldn't rise, especially with only 1/2 tsp yeast, but they turned out very well. The original recipe come from http://swallowtail.org/dairyfree/ but I added a bit more spice. So little work for such great results! Make sure you start these the night before you want to bake them. Prep time does not include rise times.

Steps:
- Put the flour, both sugars, the salt, yeast, and spices into a large bowl and mix them all together very thoroughly.
- Stir in the raisins and zest.
- Add the water and the oil and mix a little. This cools the mixture a fraction.
- Add the egg and mix it all together very thoroughly using one hand. You should end up with a very sticky dough that is soft but not sloppy.
- Cover the bowl tightly with cling wrap and leave it at room temperature to rise overnight (at least 5 hours).
- When it is ready (and when you it suits you), add some extra flour so the dough is not quite so sticky. Gently break into 10-12 pieces, forming each into a ball and place in a greased 9x13 inch pan. Leave them for about an hour, or until the buns have doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix a bit of flour, water and sugar together to form a paste (proportions are not really important here). Use this paste to pipe crosses on the tops of the risen buns.
- Bake the buns for about 25 minutes. To check whether they are cooked, take one out and tap it on the bottom with a knuckle. It should sound hollow. If it doesn't, it needs to go back into the oven for a couple more minutes.
