At this time of year,
I am reminded of something...
just how much I love
HOT CROSS BUNS!
"one-a-penny
two-a-penny,
Hot Cross Buns!"
toasty warm, slathered in good butter, with a piping hot cup of tea,
mmmm.....delicious.
I was going to bake some.
Even looked at Jeanne's
fabulous recipes.
But then, I was walking passed the bakery...
and something smelled so good...
okay, Nigella wasn't really there,
but it could have been one of her recipes!
So I bought 6...one for each of the next 6 days,
as long as I don't have to share.
Then I can forget how much I love them,
until next Easter.
Happy Easter Everyone
I made them only once many years ago for a friend's child and will never make them again. I bake but yeast and I do not get along. Joe and I just had a lovely slice of Easter Bread and it was good. It was from a bakery. Happy Easter Jacqueline.
ReplyDeleteI've never made these but they look good enough to try. Or maybe I will just buy some!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Happy Easter,Be Blessed!

Please Jo...take it...my pleasure, Jeanne gave it to us!
ReplyDeleteSharing the love is good!
Happy Easter!
What do you mean, 'smallness of my own limitations...'?
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so hungry now!
ReplyDeleteThe buns look really delicious! I made a strawberry pound-cake for a co-workers birthday today and it reminded me of why I enjoy baking so much--There's nothing like homemade!! :-)

Being a non-church-goer, and a non-choc-eater, hot cross buns (for me) ARE Easter. Love them.
ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeleteHot Cross Buns are, very sadly, one of the things which we misss about Easter here in Hungary where traditional fare extends to smoked ham eaten with painted [big mistake as the dye seeps through] eggs, accompanied with horseradish sauce. And that's it.
Your buns look positively delicious. Enjoy them all and resist sharing!

ReplyDeleteJ&L...click on Jeanne in the post and she has some wonderful recipes via the BBC for Hot Cross Buns...and Hungary would no longer hunger for these delicacies.
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard...V. and I are thrilled to have you both here...look forward to visiting and reading at your location often.
