Hot Cross Buns (Gluten-Free)

I love the delicious smell of sticky, spicy hot cross buns coming from the oven every Easter weekend. But this year I've promised myself to try something new. So here it is a recipe for gluten-free hot cross buns version. Of course this recipe is for those who have no choice or want to try (like me) something new but for those of you who want to stay with traditional Hot Cross Buns Recipe just replace all gluten-free, dairy-free products with regular ones.

Everyone knows the traditional Hot Cross Buns, but why do not try a Gluten-Free Cross Buns Recipes. It's fairly simple recipe, like a regular version with just a few modifications to make it gluten-free hot cross buns :) Definitely worth to try.
