I'm not a huge fan of hot cross buns, but I made these for my family and they loved them! They said they were the best they've ever had.

These hot cross buns were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them a bit. But the flavor was still good and they were still enjoyable.

I followed the recipe exactly and my buns turned out great! They were light and fluffy, with a beautiful golden crust. The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjusted.
