Best hot cross buns the 2019 edition

[catinboots99]

My vote is for the Aldi rhubarb and custard ones

Just back from an Aldi trip and my verdict on the rhubarb and custard ones: meh. I think I'll stick to traditional ones.

Co-op do good traditional ones.

Marks and spencers blueberry ones. Oh how I love them

For palm oil free:

No advice for shop bought I'm afraid.
However I'm not a great cook but I found basic hot cross buns easy to make and nicer than bought, so worth it imo.

Just had a delicious hot cross (cream) scone at my local garden centre.

Aldi rhubarb and custard were good, but I do prefer a traditional bun- Sainsburys taste the difference ones are fab!

Does anyone have a recipe for really sticky hot cross buns? Looking for something more like M&S ones than fresh bakery ones.

What is Booths?

The M&S chocolate chip and fudge ones - used to do massive ones the size of dinner plates last year, this year they seem to have disappeared!

Waitrose cranberry and orange are lovely

James Morton’s are the best. Hang on and i’ll Find the recipe for you.

M&S marmalade ones

WHAT?! There are RHUBARB AND CUSTARD hot cross buns?! This should be on the national bloody news. Why are they not telling this to all of the people?!

Also the Lidl luxury ones are good

And “rhubarb” doesn’t look right in capitals

Home made all the way!

Morrisons chocolate ones. I'm bunbedextrious. Except for peel. That can bugger off.

Another vote for the rhubarb and custard ones!

I've got blueberry and maple syrup and white choc & raspberry ones coming in the online shop tomorrow so I will report back!

Hot Cross Bun recipe
It says add sourdough starter- but you can ignore that and put a bit more liquid. They are soooo good!

Yes, rhubarb and custard from Aldi are amazing.

Watching with interest I love a good bun.
Booths is a really really nice supermarket we have oop north think Waitrose but a million times better.

Traditional all the way.
I'd feel dirty picking up anything else.
Rhubarb...in a hot cross bun...it's mad!
It's Tesco finest Traditional for me.

The M&S apple and cinnamon ones are divine. With butter, without butter, hot or cold. Not generally a fan of hot cross buns.

Aldi’s Luxury brioche ones are amazing - I can’t stop eating them!

Omg rhubarb and custard? Is there actual custard in them!? Sounds a dream come true for me ❤️

Doje, the home made ones look lovely! Otherwise I would recommend Victoria's bakery, Ipswich.
