Hot Cross Buns are a classic Easter treat, and with this simple recipe, you can whip up a fresh batch at home in no time! Made with just a handful of ingredients and no yeast, these buns are quick, delicious, and perfect for the whole family.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup self-raising flour, plus extra if needed
• 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
• ¼ cup sultanas
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp allspice
• 4 tbsp plain flour

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, caster sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and sultanas.
3. Add the Greek yoghurt and stir to combine. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface—it should be shaggy and slightly sticky. If needed, add more self-raising flour, one tablespoon at a time.
4. Shape the dough into a rectangle and slice it into 6 equal buns.
5. Place the buns onto a lined baking sheet.
6. To make the traditional crosses, mix 4 tablespoons of plain flour with equal amounts of water to form a thick paste. Transfer the paste into a Sinchies reusable pouch and pipe it over the buns to create the crosses.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Enjoy warm, with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey!
