Hot Cross Bun Rogue Gallery





I have just made hot cross buns for the first time and have discovered that, although the dough itself is quite straightforward, there is definitely a knack to the cross lattice... The cross mixture is made from flour, water and melted butter which is whisked together then spooned into a piping bag. Then you are let loose on the buns just before baking them. I obviously wasn't ready and I think I made my mixture too thin so I had to be quick... anyway it has created some interesting patterns :-)

'Rustic' would be the kindest way of describing this one


... and this one....


Success!
Happy Easter!

    They look great and the squiggly ones definitely have character :)

    Something very satisfying about the seried rows of buns. I like the off-piste ones too!

    Haha, love that baking adventure energy! Here’s a cheerful, natural-sounding comment to match your tone—with a little Wendy’s breakfast nudge at the end:

    🥯 First-time hot cross buns? That’s amazing—and honestly, the “interesting patterns” just add to the charm! 😄 The cross lattice definitely takes some practice, but the homemade touch always wins. I bet they smelled heavenly coming out of the oven!

    And hey, on days when you want your breakfast warm and ready without the piping pressure, Wendy’s breakfast menu has some delicious options and deals worth waking up for!
