Whaaattt?

The only flavour of hot cross bun I want is traditional hot cross bun flavour.

 

Pints make sense. Thank you. Yes. I am going to divide it by 8 and a full ounce of ginger is more than I have left after Christmas

@Michael Hewett I filed the recipe next to the Bara Brit recipe . I'll probably do both on Saturday.

I shouldn't look through cook books when I'm hungry

 

I thought the usual flavour of fruit buns was mixed spice?
They never seem to put enough in for my likings and need more flavour, I'm sure they have dumbed them down these days.

 

Thank you @CanadianLori, and good luck !
There's a lot of the writing I can't make out.

 

@CanadianLori last year I did the classic recipe from BBC Good Food for OH and me and the chocoate chip ones for Possum and they both turned out well. The previous year I did Paul Hollywood's recipe from BBC Food and it didn't work as well for me.

 

I had a recipe that called for cinnamon, allspice, etc but cinnamon is deadly to yeast. It can easily kill the "rise". I have figured out how to get lots of cinnamon into chelsea buns so I'll go with just ginger as the recipe says and then play with spices later.

 

I suppose you could sprinkle cinnamon on afterwards.

 

Well quite! I suggest you swerve the bakery aisles in your local supermarket for the next few weeks in order to avoid hot cross bun stress overload!

 

ASDA do cinnamon and apple hot cross buns. As well as yeast they use fermented wheat flour. Not something we could get our hands on, but maybe that helps the raising issue.

 

I think your looking at these different flavours all wrong........ traditional hot cross buns are delicious. Fancy flavoured hot cross buns are a bonus, I'm going to have to work my way through them to see which is the best. Also cheese hot cross buns sound amazing. Just imagine lightly toasted with butter and more cheese on top melted under the grill. Yum yum yum.
Don't worry everyone I'll sacrifice myself for you all

 

Last year I did see Marmite hot cross buns. Truly the Devil's work.

 

That suggests cinnamon is a good fungicide when use for treating plants against diseases.

 

Yes @pete tho you'd need to fina bulk supplier or it could get expensive!

A horsetail "tea" also makes a good fungicide and is free if you have it growing in your garden.

 

@KT53 I have never tasted marmite. A few shops here sell it but at a steep price so I have resisted the temptation to buy it.

 

Well I would only try it as a spray or to stop seedlings damping off, I'd not be scattering it far and wide around the garden.
