In this classic hot cross buns recipe, I adding something extra to make them soft and fluffy, which is by adding Tangzhong

So, WHAT THE HECK IS TANGZHONG?
Tangzhong is a Japanese cooking technique used in making milk bread.
(mixing a small amount of flour and milk and cook them on a low to medium heat to make a runny paste. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. 
As the liquid heats up, the flour absorbs the hot liquid, creating expanded starch molecules and gluten structures. 
Add this paste to the rest of the ingredients, to elevate the flavor and texture of bread, with delightfully soft, fluffy results.
