Tip
The inspiration for this recipe comes from "The Cook The Baker" book by Dean Brettschneider - a kiwi baker. These are the hot cross buns that are made in Zarbo in Auckland. They are so popular that at Easter time they can't keep up with demand When you have made them you will understand why. It is a good idea to have your sultanas and currants pre-soaked and can be kept for three weeks in the fridge. These Hot Cross buns are loaded with fruit so if you prefer less adjust accordingly.

Recipe is created forTM 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!
