300ml tea – make as usual but don’t add the milk!
2 tablespoons marmalade
1 egg
6 tablespoons soft brown sugar
1 teaspoon mixed spice – I put a little extra as I like it spicy!
450g self-raising flour
Milk as necessary
To glaze: honey
oven at 475° for 10 mins, reducing to 425° for 10 mins, then 400° until cooked.
It’s a good idea to make hot cross buns when you're cooking other recipes because of the time it takes for the dough to rise.
Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5

I developed this recipe because the shop-bought GF bread was soooo dire. The key ingredient (as in all GF baking) is the Xantham Gum. This ‘glues’ together the flours in the absence of the gluten present in wheat flours.
I found that using a mixture of flours makes for a more tasty dough, so I just mix together a few of the following - G-F white bread flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, gram flour (also known as Chick Pea flour) and Soy Flour. You can also add Buckwheat flour which has a unique flavour, but makes the bread rather grey!
