I Made Mary Berry's Hot Cross Buns and They're Delicious

They were delicious and I will make them again.

Hot cross buns are a traditional British treat. People look forward to them every spring. Our reporter, Katherine McPhillips, had never tried one until now. She wanted to see if she was missing out.

Katherine tried Mary Berry's hot cross bun recipe. It's simple, but the dough takes a long time to rise. She made them in the morning.

Making hot cross buns is worth the effort. Katherine loved them warm and sweet with fruit.

Katherine found the recipe easy and fun to make. She suggests trying it to impress your family this Easter.

Katherine had most ingredients at home and found yeast and flour in the baking aisle.

For the topping:

Katherine got strong white flour and yeast from Marks and Spencer.

You need an icing bag to draw crosses, but a plastic bag will do.

Baking hot cross buns is easy.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Warm milk and butter, then add to the bowl with an egg. Add raisins and zest.

Waiting for the dough to rise is the hardest part.

Knead the dough by hand, then coat a bowl with oil and cover with a towel.

Leave the dough to prove for an hour and a half, or until it's twice its size.

Split the dough into 12 pieces and roll into balls.

Hot cross buns are delicious if you try Mary Berry's recipe.

Let the buns grow for 45 minutes, then prepare the topping.

Combine flour and water for the topping, then pipe crosses onto the buns.

Bake the buns at 200°C for 20-25 minutes, then glaze with jam or syrup.

Coat the buns with jam or syrup and let them rest before serving.
