Recipe's preparation

    Chai Hot Cross Buns
  1. Place vanilla bean, cloves, cardamon, nutmeg & cinnamon into the TM bowl & chop for 1 min speed 10. (If it is not all chopped up you made need to add a tabspoon of the flour & chop it again) Add ginger & chop 2 secs speed 10.


    Make your milky chai acording to your instructions - (you can use the new EDC recipe if you like) Or a Chai teabag & water & milk is fine.


    Add cooled milky chai tea (needs to be 37 degrees or lower), honey and yeast into mixing bowl with the spices and heat 1 min/37deg/speed1.


    Add flour, salt, butter, egg and mix 6 sec/speed7 then knead 2-3 minClosed liddough mode.


    Add sultanas, currants and combine 10-15 sec/reverse/speed 5.


    Allow to rest in warm place covered with tea towel for 30-40 minutes then divide into 12 buns & place on large pieces of baking paper in the place in Varoma dish. (6 on the top tray & 6 on the bottom). Allow to rise in a warm spot.


    Fill TM bowl with 500ml water. Place varoma with buns on top of TM bowl & cook 15minutes/Varoma/speed 2.


    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.


    When your buns have finished steaming, gently move them on to an oven tray still on their baking paper & bake for 10- 15 mins until golden brown. Brush with some extra honey to glaze them.

  2. Honey Spiced Crosses
  3. Place all ingedients into the TM bowl & chop speed 5 for 5 secs. Place mixture into piping bag & pipe crosses over slightly cooled buns. Any leftovers of this mixture are great to spread directly onto the buns when you cut them open.

  • these didn't rise as much as

    these didn't rise as much as I'd hoped so I think the yeast was off plus they were quite wet so I found it difficult to shape into nice looking buns. From what I could tell, they were tasty though. Thanks for sharing.
