Hot cross buns....

..hot cross buns. One of my favourite nursery rhymes ever:)
A few months back, I bought some dried yeast and used it to bake a small batch of sweet buns. The smell when the buns are in the oven is simply heavenly...and had me and hubby swooning over it:) Reminded of my kiddy days when Mom used to bake buns for us (but she used fresh yeast..the results of which are much much better).
These are the buns I baked..they were soft and sweet and slightly chewy when hot..straight from the oven. But they turned hard when cold:( I think the 'proofing' was not properly done. But..worry not! We simply used to heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds to get the same soft chewy buns again;)
