These hot cross buns were a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble with the dough being too sticky. I had to add more flour to get it to the right consistency. Other than that, the buns turned out great.

These hot cross buns were a disappointment. They were dry and dense, and the flavor was bland. I won't be making these again.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries in this recipe. The buns turned out great! The cranberries added a tart sweetness that I really enjoyed.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my buns didn't turn out as fluffy as I had hoped. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.
