Why Are My Hot Cross Buns Dry?
Hot cross buns can become dry due to several reasons. Overbaking is a common cause as it can cause the buns to lose moisture. Using too much flour can also make the dough dense and dry. Adding too much sugar or fat can cause the buns to dry out faster. Storing the buns in the fridge can also cause them to dry out quickly. To prevent your hot cross buns from becoming dry, try reducing the baking time, using less flour and sugar, and storing them in an airtight container at room temperature.
