The “Not So Hot” Cross Buns.

• Okay, so here is what a slaved-over batch of hot cross buns looks like when you misinterpret a recipe and add an extra egg by mistake (see picture): not so hot.  Not so bun-like.

  However, they smelled wondiferous.  And other than the oddly-shellacked shell on top, the texture was like a hot cross bun- albeit a sturdy one.  So I didn’t waste three hours of baking (okay, that includes rising time)… I immediately thought “toast”.  If you’re interested in a hot cross bun recipe that does work, click here.

  And don’t add an extra egg.
