Hot Cross Buns, 150g / 4 packs.
Hot cross buns are yeasted sweet buns that are lightly spiced and filled with dry fruit. They are marked on top with a cross, either in icing or as part of the dough. Although these buns are available year round, they are most known for their popularity around Easter, particularly Good Friday. You can explore the versatility of these special treats by adding simple toppings, trying different fillings, and creating more elaborate dishes.
How to eat Hot Cross Buns
You needn’t just enjoy Hot Cross Buns with lashings of butter or the magic cheese and apricot jam combo. Here are four simple ways to make more of the spicy buns:
– For an easy Easter breakfast, slice and lightly toast the buns. Add a smear of tomato jam or relish, a piece of crispy bacon and fill with fluffy scrambled eggs.
– Be a bit more indulgent – use the buns instead of bread for French toast. Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with seasonal berries or ice-cream.
– Serve toasted, halved hot-cross buns with quartered fresh figs and a big squeeze of maple syrup.
– For a spicy take on your standard bread-and-butter pud, substitute the sliced bread with halved hot cross buns. If you like, add a handful of raisins before you add the egg and milk mixture.
