Known to traditionally be an Easter treat to be devoured on Good Friday, hot cross buns are simply delicious for their juicy fruit filling, spices and fluffiness.
Festive food item or not, many people consider them a must-have all year round - best eaten toasted and buttered, with a hot cup of tea to wash down the sweetness. That being said, we had to put this year’s hot cross buns to the ultimate test.
We hunted down some of the most affordable hot cross buns across the UK’s leading supermarkets to find which bun rose to the top (get it?). Each was scored based on their appearance, spiced aroma, flavour and rise - but ultimately our quest was to find out which tasted the best.
