      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

If you only have plain flour they still come out really well
Buttermilk can be used instead of milk
I replace the egg with about 40g of extra liquid as we have allergies in our household.The egg does add richness to the dough
The gelatine in the glaze helps it to stay on top of the buns and give a nice shine, it can be left out.
You can change the fruit in this recipe to any dried fruit, want to make them traditional just sub the chocolate and dried cherries with sultanas.
If you don't have milk powder replace the water with milk
Ive only made these in the Tm6 and Tm5 I do not know if it will fit in the Tm31

    Beautiful! Incredibly soft and delicious. I've tried a number of hot cross bun recipes on cookidoo or here, this is definitely the top by far! Definitely won't want to buy any others or make other recipes again
