Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns

TIME

While there are several variations of hot cross buns available today, the traditional version features a delicious blend of raisins and spices.

Initially, this bun was eaten exclusively during Easter, but I find it to be the perfect treat all year round! The bun tastes best when served hot, and truly shines when toasted to perfection and paired with the rich flavours of butter or marmalade.
