I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place Lemon Zest in mixing bowl and mill 10 secs / spd 9 untill it resembles a mixed peel consistency - set aside.
Place milk & yeast in mixing bowl & heat 1 min / 37 deg / spd 1.
Sift in flour, salt & spices then add sugar, butter & egg to the mixing bowl & mix6 sec / spd 7 until combined then knead 2-3 min /
/ 
until the mix is elastic.
If dough is sticky you may need to add more flour
Add sultanas, currants and zest & combine 10 sec /
/ spd 5. Knead again for 2-3min / / .
Tip - the more you work the mix the better the dough consistency.Transfer dough onto your Thermomat or lightly floured surface and work into a ball. Place ball into a greased bowl, cover with gladwrap and a tea towl and place in a warm spot (some even say the front window of a car) anywhere from 3/4hr - 1 1/2 hr until doubled in size.
Punch down dough to original size and knead lightly until smooth. Cut into 12-16 pieces. Knead pieces into bun shapes and place on a large greased or baking paper lined tray about 1 cm apart. Cover with a tea towel and stand in a warm spot for about 15 mins or until double in size.
Pre-heat oven to 180c.
Place all ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix 30 sec / spd 4.
Pour into a sandwich bag, snip the corner off and pipe crosses on the buns.Place crossed buns in oven for about 20 mins or until cooked.
(I’ve had to reduce the temp to 160c and cook for 20-30mins due to my silly oven!!)With about 2 mins of bun cooking time to go - in your clean TM mixing bowl add water and sugar and cook 2 min / 100c / spd 4.
Using a brush, glaze your buns with the syrup as soon as they come out of the oven.

This is a great recipe. I'll use it again.
These turned out perfect, thank you for a great recipe.
So easy and tasted like the real thing. I just used sultanas and omitted the currants as we didn`t have any.
Best Hot Cross Bun Recipe! Definitely the best recipe I have ever come accross! I made the version above, a fruitless version by just omitting the fruit and a chocolate chip version too. All came out perfectly, fluffy, light and so delicious. Hubby and the kids were very impressed. You just cant stuff this recipe up, its so easy and the buns taste so good
Thank You - Terrific recipe they came out perfect will defo make them again
Mine turned out too hard not fluffy at all. Think I over proofed them and over cooked them
Too much milk in this recipe.
These were awesome. I made two batches at Easter and will make them again next year.
Very yummy. First time made and a sucess. Thanks for the recipe
