Steps to make Hot Cross Buns EasterBake:

  2. Rub in the butter until crumbly before adding the mixed spice, cinnamon, sugar, salt and grated nutmeg. Mix well together.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, remaining milk and yeast mixture.
  4. Mix well until all ingredients combined.
  5. Knead for a couple of minutes until smooth. Add the mixed fruit and continue until the dough is shiny. You can use a food mixer with dough hook if you like.
  6. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave in a warm place until doubled in size. This may take up to 1 1/2 hours. Knock back by kneading the dough for 5 minutes and place on a work surface covered with a clean tea towel and let rest for 5 minutes.

  8. Shape the dough into small balls of approximately 40g (1 1/2oz) and place 1cm apart onto a greased baking tray. Brush with the egg wash and mark the top of each bun with a cross using the strips of shortcrust pastry. Gently brush again with the egg wash. Leave to stand for 30-45 minutes until the balls have doubled in size.
