Homemade Hot Cross Buns

Now that Easter is only a matter of weeks, it's time to make Hot Cross Buns.

Sprouts and mince pies in December, turkey at Christmas, strawberries in the summer - there are certain ingredients and foods that only taste right at a particular time of the year - and hot cross buns are defintitely one of them.  They just don't taste right in January when we first start to see them in supermarkets, it's like eating a satsuma in August. Wrong on so many levels!

So, now is the time to try your hand at making your own, and who better to show you how than Delia?

As part of our FREE Online Cookery School Delia decided to feature Hot Cross buns in a lesson of their own with a video showing how to make them, and as she says, not only are they far superior to factory made, they're also half the price to make them yourself.
