Lisa's Tips
- I love to let this salad sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving, so that all the flavors meld together.
Hi Lisa, which of your Recipes do you suggest I use to make healthy Hot Cross Buns, I was thinking of one of your Bread recipes and adding some spices to make them taste like Traditional Hot Cross Buns then making them into rolls or using a muffin tin and putting or cutting a cross on the top. It has been a Tradition in our Family to have them at Easter but the Commercial ones are not suitable for me now. Thank you :-)
Hi Priscilla – unfortunately, I’ve never made hot cross buns so I’m not much help. Sorry!
Thank you for sharing these recipes. This year Easter bunch will be hugging the ones closest to us. Stay safe everyone.
