One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns’, the old nursery rhyme goes. They cost a little more than a few pennies these days, but hot cross buns are still pretty good value for a treat.

Having seen so many on the shelves this year, we decided to fit this survey in time for Good Friday. They also make handy freezer food, which is good toasted any time. They will make a nice breakfast with a large cup of creamy coffee on Easter Sunday. On a day I forgot to buy bread, I filled one with ham and cheese as an emergency sandwich, which was delicious. Try a sausage, too.
