    Allow to rest in warm place covered with tea towel for 30-40 minutes then divide into 12 buns.

    Place buns onto 2 large pieces of baking paper in the Varoma dish. (6 on the top tray & 6 on the bottom). Allow to rise in a warm spot.

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.

    When your buns have finished steaming, gently move them on to an oven tray still on their baking paper & bake for 10- 15 mins until golden brown. Brush with some honey or apricot jam to glaze them.

Tip

If you are making your chocolate hazelnut spread before starting this recipe you don't need to clean the bowl before starting the recipe.

Erica Noble & arwen.thermomix worked on this recipe together as they both love the Hot Cross Buns made at Jackman & McRoss Bakery in Hobart & wanted to make their own version.

You may like to change some of the dired apricots to some sultanas or currants too.
