Hot Cross Buns


It is Easter time again and so as always in England, time for hot cross buns. One of my favourite treats this, a sweet bread bun with sultanas that you toast and butter. Nice and simple, very tasty. I took the liberty of introducing Marianne to these fantastic little things and she liked them but several times asked whats with the cross and what's it made out of. I just laughed, the cross I assume is of religious significance and its just some kind of dough I guess, point being I'd honestly not thought about it for many years.
A nice simply but classic example of how great it can be to get an outside perspective on things and have someone ask questions like what and why. I must also admit I'm aware that the traditional nursery rhyme is pretty pants but another classic!
Hot cross buns!
