When you marry Scones + Hot Cross Buns = No Yeast
"Celebrating Easter with these quick and easy, no-yeast PANDAN HOT CROSS BUNS😍 It’s a crossover between Hot Cross Buns and Scones but super delicious and perfect for those running out of time or don’t want to wait for the dough to rise 😆
Ever since I was little my family kept teaching me not to waste food because farmers work very hard growing and harvesting 😳 Did you know not all flour products give back to the farmers what they deserve? 🥹 I used self-raising flour from @thekindharvesthere, which is made from 100% responsibly grown Aussie Wheat 🌾 and donate 10c per bag of flour sold to Rural Aid to support Australian farming communities 💕 What’s not to love? Let’s celebrate our support to our hardworking Aussie farmers this Easter, by sharing your favourite Hot Cross Buns recipes using The Kind Harvest flour products - available from @colessupermarkets or online at coles.com.au 👋" This vegan Pandan Hot Cross Buns recipe is contributed by Candy @nourishandflourishsyd (her Instagram).

Method to bake Hot Cross Buns
(1) Preheat the oven to 180C. Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl and warm the wet ingredients in another bowl.
(2) Pour wet over dry mixture to form a stick dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a minute then add in raisins and choc chips.
(3) Divide into 6 balls and arrange them close to each other on a greased baking pan. Brush the buns with milk and pipe the cross ingredients to make a cross shape.
(4) Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden on top.
(5) Best eaten with 1-2 days and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tip - These Pandan Hot Cross Buns can freeze well too.
