These pillowy-soft hot cross buns are the kind of bake that fills your kitchen with the nostalgic scent of cinnamon, citrus, and spice — the ultimate homemade comfort. Lightly sweetened, perfectly spiced, and studded with juicy sultanas and fragrant orange zest, each bite is full of flavour and tradition.

Topped with the signature flour cross and finished with a glossy apricot glaze, they’re everything a proper hot cross bun should be: golden, fluffy, and beautifully aromatic. Whether you're making them for Easter or simply craving something cosy and homemade, this recipe gives you reliable, bakery-worthy buns every time.

Make ahead friendly and freezer-safe, they’re perfect fresh from the oven, lightly toasted, or even just pulled apart and eaten warm with butter.

Simple ingredients. Timeless flavour. A classic you'll keep baking again and again.



Hot Cross Buns

Soft & Spiced Hot Cross Buns Recipe

Soft, buttery, and golden on top, these homemade scones are everything a good scone should be — light, tender, and just the right amount of crumbly. Perfect fresh from the oven and slathered with jam and cream, they make the ultimate companion to a cup of tea (or coffee if you’re that way inclined!).

Whether you’re baking for a lazy weekend brunch, an afternoon tea spread, or just because you deserve a treat, this simple recipe delivers bakery-quality scones with minimal fuss. No fancy ingredients, just tried-and-tested techniques for that perfect rise every time.

Deliciously versatile — serve them plain, or add your favourite extras like sultanas, lemon zest, or even a handful of chocolate chips.

Once you’ve made them, you’ll never go back to shop-bought.
