<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTips for the best Lemon and White Chocolate Hot Cross Buns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Flour: I recommend using Strong White Bread Flour for best results. If you’re in a pinch, or just not wanting to go to the store, All Purpose (Plain) Flour will work. If using plain flour, you may find yourself needing to add more flour to get the dough to come together in the same way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Warm Milk: The milk should be warm to the touch, but not hot. If it is too hot to hold your finger in, you must let it cool before adding it to the mixture. Milk that is too hot will cause the yeast to die and therefore your buns won’t rise! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- White Chocolate: Totally up to you whether to use chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate. You can also use any form of white chocolate you like, from the basic own-brand, designed for kids stuff, through to the top end. Essentially, make these buns work for you. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rise Time: The dough needs a to double in size during proofing. This might be an hour, but it could be more if you’re in a cold kitchen. If you have a cold kitchen, you can fill a large bowl half full with warm water and placing the bowl with the dough into it (not letting any dough get wet, just forming a sort of warm blanket around it).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Shaping: Hot Cross Buns are just that: buns. Roll into small balls and place on the tray you’ll be baking on. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Piping: This is up to personal freedom how to pipe the crosses. I go traditional in this recipe, but feel free to play around. Use a very small piping nozzle, or cut a very small hole if using a homemade\/greaseproof paper style piping bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t
Lemon and White Chocolate Hot Cross Buns<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tThese are a wonderful twist on a classic. They combine the citrusy vibes of fresh lemon zest with creamy white chocolate for a perfect bite. These are definitely best eaten warm, smothered in butter or a little lemon curd for extra zing. Make in advance of Easter to keep things traditional, but they can be enjoyed any time of year! <\/span><\/div>\n\t\t
