Gluten-Free Hot Cross Buns

Gluten-Free Hot Cross buns for Easter.
Do you remember this nursery rhyme? I used to ask my mother to read it to me all the time but I never really understood it. Maybe you can sing it with your child as you make these delicious gluten-free hot cross buns this weekend.
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns, one a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns. If you have no daughters, give them to you sons. One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns. If you sons don’t like them, they’re the only ones, one a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns. Get them while they’re hot, and eat them by the ton. One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.
