Allergy free strawberry glazed hot cross buns recipe

You can use any jam you'd like but the best are apricot, plum, fig and strawberry. I also have a mostly secret ingredient for some of the buns which is a small shake or two of ground cardamom. 

Ingredients
Dry mix
  • 2½ cups Orgran self-raising flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1½ tsp cinnamon, nutmeg or mixed spice
  • 2 level tsps baking powder
  • 1½ cups dried fruit of your choice (currants are traditional)
  • 80g Nuttlex
Wet Mix
  • ¼ cup smooth strawberry jam
  • 1¼  cup goat’s milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tsp Orgran No Egg, whisked with 60mls water until thick
Cross mixture
  • 2 tsps Orgran plain flour
  • 2 tsps caster sugar
  • 4-5 tablespoons water 
Glaze
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam

Method
  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Grease a muffin tin.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Rub the Nuttlex through the dry mix until the mix is a fine crumb.
  • Whisk together the milk, strawberry jam and vanilla essence in a separate bowl.
  • In another bowl whisk the Orgran No Egg mixture.
  • Pour the liquid mixtures into the bowl with dry ingredients.
  • Mix well to form a smooth and consistent batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tin (smooth the tops with damp fingers if you wish to shape them – use water or goat’s milk for this).
  • In a small bowl, whisk the plain four and sugar with water until smooth.
  • Spoon into a zip-lock back and cut off a corner.
  • Squeeze out flour mixture to create the crosses.
  • Bake for approximately 20 -25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the buns from the muffin pan after five minutes of cooling.
  • Place the muffins on a wire rack over a baking tray.
  • In a small pan, boil the strawberry jam and water for five minutes.
  • Brush glaze over the buns while hot.
  • Allow to cool completely.

Note
  • Reheat to eat.

Good Friday hot cross buns

All glazed and ready to go. I chose the apricot ones as I could probably eat some of these and birthday cake in one day. I don't know about golden syrup ones and pineapple and carrot cake. That would probably lead to rolling home.

As you can tell, I'll likely be out and about all day so this is probably the only post.

But for you, the secret ingredient is a pinch of cardamom. Only a pinch.
