Spring is in the air, and with it comes the delightful aroma of freshly baked hot cross buns. As Easter approaches, these spiced, sweet buns with their iconic cross have become a part of many households around the world.
The history of hot cross buns dates way back. They originated in England and are traditionally consumed on Good Friday to mark the end of Lent. The cross on top of the bun symbolises the crucifixion of Jesus, while the spices inside resemble the spices used to embalm him. Sharing a plate of hot cross buns with loved ones is a simple yet meaningful way to celebrate the Easter season and the joy of togetherness.
