Just as hot mince pies are the taste of Christmas; well buttered, halved and toasted, hot-cross-buns are certainly the taste of Easter.
Thank you m'dear; delicious!

Oh they do look good. I should really have made some for Doug but have been rather busy. I haven't made them since going gluten free.
You are so lucky that Lady Magmon loves and is such a wonderful baker.
cheers, parsnip
My gram used to make them, I loved them with big splotch of apple butter.
These ones were particularly good, just the right amount of cinnamon and spices.
Lucky you! I'm ashamed to say that just 5 minutes ago I ate a (gifted) shop-bought example. At least the butter was real. I shall have to look for a recipe and set about making amends for letting the team down.
She really enjoys it; and the results are good too.
Just plain butter for me. She had some Quince jelly on hers yesterday, and was trying to convince me to do the same; I stuck with just butter.
I quite expect if they were sold in the shops here, we'd buy them too.
Will they last for Good Friday or will she have to find time to make another batch?
Some have gone into the freezer, but she says she'll make more anyway.
We have no buns. The only thing that gets hot and cross around here is myself, he says jokingly ;-)
I just wish I could get my hands on more 'buns'.
"Get them while they're hot
and eat them by the ton,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns"
Lady M does spoil you!
Greeting Maria x
I'd forgotten that rhyme. I'm not averse to being spoilt Maria!
They are sold in the shops in the UK all year round.
The buns look delicious. After many years of practice I finally made some worthy buns last year. I shall make more in a week's time. Like you I would buy them if I could though the smell when they come out of the oven is intoxicating
Very wise. They are classic English Tea-Time fare, along with Crumpets, Pikelets, etc. All delicious.
It's that combination of Cinnamon and the mixed spices that does it. It makes the house smell 'comfortable'.
How lucky you are.
They are extremely popular although not with me, I have never liked them!
How true; very lucky.
Mmm. Lucky you Cro. I buy mine from the excellent bakers, five minutes walk from home, but only in the week before Easter so I treated myself to the first of the season on Friday. I had cut the grass, oiled my old teak garden furniture and felt I deserved a sit down with a cup of tea and a buttered hot cross bun. I would not touch supermarket (especially Heston Blumenthal’s) buns with a barge pole.
Lady M is such a good baker ...... I can smell the cinnamon from here !!! XXXX
I have never heard those words " get them while they're hot, eat them by the ton". Is that an Italian variation Maria?
They look so yummy - I want one!
We treat ourselves even when we've been lazy! What have you against Heston B's Hot X Buns?
I have to wait another three hours before my next one!
Me too; see above!
I feel as if I can smell them from here!
She's just this minute gone into the kitchen to toast some for Tea. Your sense of smell is remarkable!
Lucky, lucky you! I miss having someone to show my gorgeous buns to. Sigh. Maybe next year! LOL! ;-) xo
Cheeky! We've just eaten some; delicious.
She has developed some lovely buns
