Apparently I’m a big fat liar.
I said I made hot cross buns and would bring them to the fiesta. Lie. Big fat one.
Well, actually it’s half a lie. The part about making the buns? True. See for yourself.
I just didn’t have the time to write the recipe. No, that’s another lie. I was too lazy. Now that’s the truth. 100%.
So now it’s too late for hot cross buns. I am very sorry… They were terrific hot cross buns.
I’ll try to do better next time, okay? What’s the next big celebration? Cinco de Mayo? I can do Cinco de Mayo. I think.
There isn’t a short supply of good recipes at the fiesta, however. See for yourself down below.
On that happier note, I shall bid you a happy Fiesta Friday and an even happier weekend!

Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 9:53 amThanks, Julie! Nothing like your amazing breads, though. Two of the little plates broke, unfortunately ? Clumsy cook!

Margherita says
April 21, 2017 at 10:02 amOh Angie… if you only knew how many times I promise things to myself and at the end I am not able to do them for real because of my laziness…. Those hot cross buns look perfect, I am pretty sure they were unbelievably good!
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 12:41 pmI’m glad you understand ? It’s okay, whatever keeps us happy. That’s what I keep telling myself ? Thanks for the compliments. Have a great weekend ? Let me know if you want to cohost.
Anugya @ Indian Curry Shack says
April 21, 2017 at 10:05 amHey Angie! I’m so glad to be featured đ Thanks a lot!
Those hot cross buns look perfect and nice photography too! Happy FF and a wonderful weekend to you!
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 12:26 pmYou’re welcome! Homemade ice cream sounds amazing. And you don’t even need an ice cream machine? Which is perfect since mine broke ? Thanks for the compliments! Have a great weekend! ?
petra08 says
April 21, 2017 at 10:07 amLove the hot cross buns! I have never made my own, one day!
Am so excited to co host with the lovely Lina, am off to prepare for the market and will re join later. Happy FF and have a great weekend đ xx
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 12:20 pmThey’re not too hard to make, just require patience and time, just like any other yeasty bread. I stuffed mine with cheesecake batter, that’s what makes them special ? Maybe I’ll make them again without the crosses. Thanks for cohosting! ?
petra08 says
April 21, 2017 at 4:12 pmoh Angie, ha ha I never bake and a yeasty dough sounds enough to make me hesitate! I love the idea of the cheesecake batter in the buns, I think I will wait for the recipe! đ
My pleasure co hosting, thank you for letting me do it! Happy weekend đ
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 5:47 pmYah, I know! That’s the problem with bread baking. And it’s even worse with sourdough. It can take days! I’ll gladly pay $5 for that sourdough boule, please, lol ? Kneading can be therapeutic, though ?
Dad Whats 4 Dinner says
April 21, 2017 at 11:13 amYour buns look so good. Oh, wait that didn’t sound very PC. The pics of your hot cross buns look amazing. See that is better. :)) With your track record maybe you should start working on Mothers Day of Memorial Day. I think you will miss Cinco de Mayo.! :)))) Happy FF!
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 12:14 pmWhy don’t I just work on next year’s Easter post; it’s half way there ? Oh and my buns? Better than most. Buns = bread rolls ?
Dad Whats 4 Dinner says
April 21, 2017 at 12:24 pmI have faith in you that the Easter post of Hot Cross Buns will be completed by next year. Oh, BTW Easter is on April Fools’ Day next year! :))
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 5:38 pmHa! In that case I can guarantee there WILL be an Easter post next year, exactly on Easter Sunday ?
Lily says
April 21, 2017 at 12:42 pmThose do look like perfect buns. Hey, better late than never. Btw where did you get your backdrop? I love the soft blue texture.
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 1:37 pmThanks,Lily! Maybe I’ll make the buns again without the crosses. And you prob are not going to believe it, but I painted the backdrop myself. Yup! Just some poster board and acrylic paints. I didn’t think it turned out that great at first but then in pictures it looks pretty good, right?
Lily says
April 21, 2017 at 2:06 pmIt looks amazing! Great job Angie:)
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 5:39 pmThanks! I’m actually planning to make more, different designs and colors. So easy, so cheap!
Lynda Hardy says
April 21, 2017 at 1:15 pmYour hot cross buns look delicious! Write it up and schedule it for next year and bask in the glory of being that far ahead! đ
Angie says
April 21, 2017 at 4:32 pmHaha, Lynda, I do like the way you think. You should see the number of drafts I have! But the problem is by the time I go back to them, I can’t remember what the heck I was doing! ?
FrugalHausfrau says
April 21, 2017 at 11:45 pmOMG Angie. You have the best buns. Simply the best. No-one has buns like yours. They’re tremendous. Do I remind you of anyone? Don’t worry, I won’t grab your buns, lol! It’s been a few months now so I can joke. A little, anyway. But seriously the buns are gorgeous!
And thanks, everyone, for clicking on my Cheese Zombies!! I just about died tonight when watching tv and saw that Little Caesers is featuring something that looks suspiciously like these Zombies. *sigh*
Angie says
April 22, 2017 at 8:52 pmI have the best buns! The best! When I look at other buns, they’re all losers. I win bigly! Or big league, whatever… We can all joke about it now ?? And the cheese zombies, omg!! I feel so deprived I’ve never had them before! Same thing with pizza bombs. Why are there so many great things out there that haven’t crossed my path?
FrugalHausfrau says
April 22, 2017 at 9:45 pmlol! Well I haven’t had pizza bombs either – so much food I’ve never eaten! I should have started younger, lol!!
Jhuls says
April 22, 2017 at 4:50 amThese hot cross buns look so fab! I bet they taste amazing, too! Thanks for the party, Angie! Have a great weekend!?
Angie says
April 22, 2017 at 8:08 pmThey were pretty much the best buns I’ve ever made and eaten! Seriously! That’s why I was bummed I didn’t share the recipe in time.
Ann GrubbsnCritters says
April 22, 2017 at 5:16 amBeautiful hot cross buns! I want!!! ? Did you OD on them yet? ?
Have a wonderful weekend, Angie!
Angie says
April 22, 2017 at 8:04 pmUh huh, and that’s why I was too sleepy to write the recipe ? Enjoy your weekend! ?
Sue says
April 25, 2017 at 11:09 amThose buns are truly perfect looking. I love the way you styled them too. Let me know if you need a host for any upcoming week Angie!
Angie says
April 25, 2017 at 5:19 pmOh hi there, stranger ? ? Yes, I need another cohost May 5 FF170 aka Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. It’d be great if you can do it. All the old friends will be happy to see you. I know I’m excited you’re back!
