Hot Cross Buns - found any good ones?

[DuesToTheDirt]

I'm sitting here eating a Sainsburys St Clemens & Honey hot cross bun and it's sublime.

What are your recommendations?

M&S apple hot cross buns are really good

Not Cross Buns from SRSLY, they’re low carb and delicious!

The work of the devil I think.

Homemade. They’re in a different league 😋

All of these novelty flavours are NOT hot cross buns. They are just flavoured buns.
Hot cross buns are traditionally spiced buns only. M&S luxury version is the best

Oh unclench would you.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER small nerdy fact - the birds won't even notice the chilli. They don't taste it like we do.

@YireosDodeAver

i would have to drive a long way to find such a place!

I don't like flavoured ones, so maybe my option won't help you, but my preference is Tesco extra fruit. Much nicer than any of the other supermarket ones IMO.

Just had a Tesco extra fruity one that was rather nice
I only like the fruit ones the flavoured ones aren’t for me

This recipe is awesome. https://eddkimber.substack.com/p/the-softest-hot-cross-buns-youll
Make them. Eat them. You'll thank me later.

The lemon and white chocolate ones from Sainsbury’s are amazing! I’ve had at least 3 packs this year…

I also had the triple chocolate ones from Tesco which were fine but nothing compared to the lemon ones. Also had the Tesco cinnamon and brown sugar ones which I wasn’t a massive fan of, they just tasted like normal ones which was fine but obviously they were more expensive than the normal ones.

I bloody love a hot cross bun dripping in butter… nothing better 😋

I made my own for the first time using Mary Berry's recipe. I however swapped currants for sultanas and cranberries as currants are surprisingly hard to find and I'm unlikely to use them for anything else. They were so good! Tasted so much better because of the amount of effort I'd put it.
