Choc Chip & Raisin Hot Cross Buns

The Grumpy Baker

Baked fresh on-site at the Grumpy Baker cafes every morning, their secret to the perfect hot cross bun is an abundance of raisins, choc chips and butter swirled with spice for an extremely moist, fluffy and sticky bun. The final ingredient to the bun Michael says is the fact that it’s made with “a lot of love”.
