I love baking in my Instant Pot Vortex Plus Versazone Air fryer. The wide basket easily fits baking pans and not having to preheat a large oven cuts down on electricity costs. I’m consistently impressed by the versatility of this air fryer – there are very few things you can’t make in this awesome machine.
Ingredients Needed
Milk. I used whole milk. Warm water. Butter. I used salted butter but unsalted butter can be substituted. Sugar. Flour. All purpose flour/Cake flour works well. Instant yeast. Spices: Ground cinnamon, a pinch of cardamom, nutmeg and all spice. Salt. Raisins.
How to make hot cross buns in an air fryer
Can I make this ahead?
The dough can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept well-covered (ideally in an airtight container) in the refrigerator. Baked hot cross buns can be kept in a container at room temperature for up to 2 days – reheat in the air fryer before serving or slice in half and toast until crisp and golden.
Should hot cross buns be eaten hot?
They are definitely best served warm with butter. I like to toast stale hot cross buns then slather in butter with a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of honey. They’re also delicious with jam or marmalade.
