There’s no better breakfast or afternoon snack than the best hot cross buns on Easter weekend.
Soft, springy and fragrant with warming spices, these fruit-studded buns have long been a staple in the UK. Traditionally, they’re packed with currants and sultanas bearing a cross decoration. Recipes have now come a long way. You’ll find everything from savoury, cheese-flavoured buns to indulgent chocolate recipes. That said, traditionalists needn’t worry – there are still plenty of classic takes that stick closely to the spiced, fruit-filled formula.
