About

Sweet, spicy and packed full of fruit or chocolate, hot cross buns are Easter’s most quintessential baked goods. These days you can buy all sorts of hot cross buns that cater for different dietary requirements, but none can compare to a fresh batch of these buns. Soft and shiny with their sugar glaze, I guarantee you won’t regret making these at any time of the year.
