Hot Cross Buns

[tiggerblue10]

How do you have yours? Toasted, straight from the packet, heated up, buttered, with jam etc?

Do you even like them? Are they the same recipe as teacakes but with a cross?

I pop mine in the toaster and lavish them with oodles of butter.
I much prefer the fruited ones.

Gently warmed in the air fryer for five minutes - then butter and marmalade

mmmmm .... hungry now

[sunny-dave]

Good HXBs are much denser and aromatic than teacakes - Aldi specially selected are good this year.

Sliced, toasted, split in two...orange curd on one side, Belgian plain chocolate spread on the other...sandwiched together again.
Instant choc-orange bun.

Toasted with butter - like the idea, not sure about the aftertaste.

Wouldn't get the ones with "extras" - caramel/choc/etc.

Aldi were/are selling a hot cross bun flavoured liqueur!

M&S fruits ones are nice. I like mine cut in half and buttered.

I'm not fond of them but I like tea loaf.

You wouldn't fancy the M&S cheese and marmite flavour ones then Dave

[davebro]

ughhh!

I bought M&S cheese ones, and nice as they are, it just seems all wrong when you bite into them and get strong cheese flavour instead of the usual traditional taste. I love cheese scones but these just don’t compute in my mind.
I have normal ones cut in half, toasted and slathered with salty butter. Actually, I might try a cheese one, toasted, buttered and with marmalade or lemon curd, I love the sweet/salty taste.

[MargoTester]

I love cheese and marmite but they didn't float my boat.

Halved, toasted lashings of butter (I'm an icon of health and fitness) dollop of Strawberry jam. job done.

[jennyjoan]

asda sell nice ones too - their own make

I'm afraid I lose my appetite when confronted with a reminder of the device used to torture and execute our lord and saviour.

Chocolate bunnies though, now you're talking.

[Arksided]

Wow cor blimey, it must be a nightmare on Nov 5Th, that Guy had a plan.

[pastafreak]

I never eat them. One would lead to scoffing the whole package in an evening. If I did it would be toasted with lots of butter. When I worked, we would get dozens of packs donated. Hot cross bread and butter pudding was often on the menu...yummm.
