Hot cross buns with butter

Easter is coming! Easter will be 3rd-5th April this year. One tradition is hot cross buns! I love them....

Hot cross buns are a small round bread roll. They are enjoyed in many countries including the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Canada and India. They are a sweet spiced bread with a cross baked on top. They are usually glazed with sugar.

Despite the name, they are often eaten cold or they are toasted and buttered. I want to make some this year... I haven't made them for years!

I am not a christian but I love hot cross buns!
