Easter hot cross buns

These hot cross buns are sweet, lightly spiced and sooo fluffy! While it is traditional to make them for Good Friday, they are great all year.

Bring some Easter cheer to the breakfast table with these cute bunny buns

You'll wish Easter came twice a year with these gorgeous vanilla hot cross buns with passionfruit glaze. Like vanilla slice in hot cross bun-form, these are a twist on the holiday classic that's arguably better than the original. Flavoured with brown sugar and cinnamon, they're indulgently sweet and are a great Easter recipe.

Never fear, there’s still time to whip up a batch or two of these hot cross buns!

There's nothing like a warm, fragrant, fluffy pan of Hot Cross Buns for Easter! They start with a spiced yeast dough with raisins and are baked until they are golden brown. Top them with icing in the sign of a cross. The are traditionally served on Good Friday as a treat.

There are some things that are just quintessentially Easter. Of course, you've got your chocolate bunnies and a plethora of egg-shaped treats, but for me the holiday isn't complete without an Easter Lamb Cake (a German/Eastern European tradition) or a batch of hot cross buns. I suppose that's because these treats emphasize the Christian aspect of the holiday (although it's been hotly debated that they have their pagan roots, too) while still allowing me to get my hands dirty in the kitchen…
