It’s hard to go past an extra kick of chocolate at Easter time! These fluffy and fragrant hot cross buns filled with melted chocolate chunks are sure to be a hit. Whip them up at home with locally sourced ingredients.

Ingredients


Ingredients


for the crosses


for the glaze

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water

Method

 

  • Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, spices and salt in a bowl and mix until combined.

  • In a measuring jug, whisk together the melted butter, eggs and milk then pour into the dry ingredients.

  • Mix until a sticky, soft dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.

  • Place the dough into a bowl and cover with clingfilm and allow to rise for 1 hour.

  • When the dough has risen, remove from the bowl and knead in the raisins and chocolate. Return to the bowl, cover and allow to rise for another 30 minutes.

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  • Form dough balls roughly the size of golf balls out of the risen dough and place on the prepared baking tray.

  • Mix together the flour and water and pipe crosses onto the buns.

  • Allow to rise for another 30 minutes then place in the pre-heated oven.

  • Allow to bake for 25-30 minutes until the hot cross buns are golden brown and cooked through.

  • While the buns are baking, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan and allow to come to a boil.

  • When the buns have baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the glaze over the top.

  • Allow to cool slightly before serving with butter.
