Hot Cross Buns

What are hot cross buns and what do they have to do with Easter?

Hot cross buns are spiced, sweet buns made with fruit and marked (either etched into the dough or piped with icing) with a cross on the top. Think of them as a sort of blend between a dinner roll and a sweet pastry.

Most recipes call for raisins and cinnamon, but there are tons of variations out there.

Traditionally, hot cross buns are associated with Easter—a Christian holiday and festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus—and eaten on Good Friday, or the Friday before Easter.
