I’ve hunted high and low, far and wide for a good hot cross bun recipe, one that felt close enough to what I remember eating as a kid. After much trial and error, I reached out to Edd Kimber at The Boy Who Bakes who I had the pleasure of meeting last month in San Francisco. Edd was in town with the editors from Bake From Scratch and we got to hangout and bake with the one and only Alice Medrich.  Edd sent me his recipe to try out and it is absolutely easy to follow and work with. The texture of the buns reminded me of the buns I used to go every year with my grandfather to pick up at the bakery.
