Currant, dried cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, and ginger Hot Cross Buns. I winged the recipe so it would be a small batch, with dough I could keep in the fridge overnight.

Hot cross bun recipe?

I’m surprised some Hot Cross Bun recipes bake at temps as low as 350 F and others at temps as high as 425F. For those of you who make them, how hot is your oven? Dan Lepard’s buns bake at 400F Nigel Slater 425 F 425 F/ 400 Convection for Richard Bertinet Stella Parks’ buns bake at 350 F. I went with 400 F convection on, following Bertinet. It took 18 minutes to reach 209 F internally on buns that weighed 75 grams each before baking. [PXL_20260403_170026982~2]
