    Made the hot cross buns today - can confirm they are definitely too yummy to be good for you!
    They look really yummy!

  • Yes, I noticed this plus ds1 and I thought they said "glacier cherries" - very cold ones I presume and 50g of marzipan instead of (I assume) 500g. I can roll things out thinly but I couldn't get 2 circles and 11 disciples out of 50g:D

    Yes I noticed that too! It's weird, I watched the start of the programme again to check a few things on the simnel cake and I downloaded the recipe from the website and there are definitely a few differences between the two. Oh well, the cake is in the oven and we'll see what happens in a couple of hours. I'm slightly worried about putting the whole thing under the grill at the end though!

    And Nikkisun - your hot cross buns look amazing!

    Thanks all - have made hot cross buns in the breadmaker before but never by hand - can't believe how light and fluffy they are and sooo much nicer than shop bought!

    It's definitely making me think I should try some of Mr Hollywood's other recipes.

    How difficult were the actual crosses to make? You've definitely got me thinking I should give it a go at the weekend!
  • The COLD blooming was a revelation, it has completely changed the way I activate Yeast.
    It makes it a lot more failsafe good for Beginners like us who wish to bake all sorts of goods we can buy, but better still make with excellent quality control of course!

    Really easy - I just used a sandwich bag with the corner cut off - it's just a straight line across and you don't need to be precise.

    My first go at the hot cross buns, slightly overdone and don't look as nice as Nikki's but they should taste fine :)

  • They look great, but then I do like my bread well cooked ;) do they taste as good as they look?
