My mother loved hot cross buns and getting up early on Easter morning to watch the sun rise with hot chocolate in one hand and a hot cross bun in the other. (Pigs, Ferns and Easter Sunrise on Sacred Hilltops) So I have after several attempts, come up with a delicious rendition of GAPS and SCD friendly Hot Cross Buns. They are more like muffins, and a thick custard makes a tasty cross. This recipe will make about 18 buns.
For the buns:
- 1/2 c honey
- 1/4 c butter
- 1 c cashew butter (raw)
- 2 c cashew or almond flour (blanched)
- 1 t baking soda
- 5 eggs
- 1 c raisins
- 1/4 c honey-candied citrus peel
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t allspice
- 1/2 t cloves
- dash salt
