Top 8 shop-bought hot cross buns in time for Easter
They’re not difficult to make, but there are plenty of hot cross buns in our survey to please
‘One a penny, two a penny’ - the nursery rhyme Hot Cross Buns was originally a street cry called out by bakers in the 18th century. Today we can play it on YouTube with cartoon characters showing children how to make the raisin-studded buns. They’re not difficult to make, but there are plenty in our survey to please. This year, we found a few interesting innovations with flavoured buns a far cry from traditional.
Not all bakers do hot cross buns, and I expect it’s not worth their while setting up a special production system for such a short time, but those who do make them do a great job.
