    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Amazing!! Truely like the ones you buy, doughy and light. I soaked my rasins overnight in water to plump up, next time I would add double the spices and I didn't quite have enough coming through the buns. The were huge and made 12, like someone mentioned below make smaller and cooker shorter time. Fantastic I now need to look no further these are great!

    Try using Garam Masala from BCB, instead of mixed spice, it’s amazing.

    These are fantastic, thanks for sharing. My boys are loving these in their lunch box. I butter and wrap them individually and snap freeze them. They defrost perfectly for morning tea !

    My husband and I made these last night, and they were so delicious as well as lovely to look at. We omitted the sultanas, as my husband hates them and had them plain. They are the best hot cross buns we have ever had, so we will definitely be making them again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

    Lovely, taste just like the real thing!! I used spelt flour and a mix of currants/sultanas. Mine were a little flat, but the taste compensated this. Thanks for sharing.Cooking 7
