Get ready to cross over into a world where buns steal the spotlight twice a year!
The best way to serve hot cross buns is to warm them up, slather on a generous layer of butter, and let the gooey goodness melt into each bite.
They are also delicious dipped in butter or jam.
Dough-n’t underestimate these little wonders, because they’re bun-derfully addictive!

βž• Bun Chronicles: Why Cross a Bun?πŸ”

A hot cross bun is a spiced bun with a cross on top. The buns are typically made with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, raisins, and spices.
But why the “cross”? Was it all about religious symbolism or a secret mathematical message? Or maybe, just maybe, it was a purely aesthetic choice because nothing says “eat me” quite like a beautifully marked bun.
Hot cross buns may have existed before the Good Friday celebration, but they became associated with the holiday in the 17th century.
The answer, my fellow bun enthusiasts, is as elusive as the scent of freshly baked buns.
