Hot Cross Pancakes Recipe

I LOVE Hot Cross buns at Easter time.  Do you?  I have to admit and I will deny it if you repeat it but sometimes I can overindulge and get sick of eating them!  That's where this thermomix hot cross pancake comes in.   Now a pancake any day is welcome in our house but when you can whip up that frosting any day you kind of feel a little naughty eating it when it's not Easter.

So if you've over indulged on the numerous thermomix hot cross bun recipes out there or your not a hot cross bun lover - then give these thermomix hot cross pancakes a go!

Wishing you a very Happy 2016 Easter!   If you haven't already, leave a note out for the Easter Bunny to whip some up and have them ready for breakfast tomorrow.

Recipe inspired by and tweaked to be made in the Thermomix from Joy the Baker.
