Hot Cross Buns
When I was little, the only day that Hot Cross Buns were available was Good Friday, the Friday before Easter. You had to get to the bakery early to make sure you got there before these traditional buns were all gone, because there wouldn't be any more until next year.
Sliced in half, toasted, spread with a little butter..... a real treat.
Did you enjoy some Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday? I did.
No, I didn't, but I remember having them as a chld also. Happy Easter to you.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't, they look very delicous though!

I have to admit that we can get these all year round now... and I get them now and then.. I like them toasted with jam/jelly in the morning with a cup of tea for my breakfast.

I have not heard that rhyme since childhood... ha! many moons ago.
Oh, I love me a hot cross bun! I don't know how I could have forgotten them! Must go to shops now!
ReplyDeleteUmm, warm with butter melting. So good. I don't remember them just being available on Good Friday but I do remember them for Easter week.
ReplyDeleteWish I had....these look delicious.
ReplyDeleteWe always used to have them when I was growing up; not available here, though. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI love those! We have a bread here that reminds me of hot cross buns. I don't know what it is we just call it "Jewish Bread" because the Jewish people love it. It's soft and almost sweet and really, really good!
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious!! I think i've had them before, but not on a Good Friday. Perhaps next year!
ReplyDeleteDid you make them, or did you purchase them from your friendly baker?
Happy Easter!
I wish I had some of them. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and the family!
Happy Easter! Yes, we had Hot Cross Buns breakfast on Good Friday. They are available all the time, it seems, but I'm a purist and I only have them on Good Friday. That makes it really special.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize that Hot Cross Buns were only available on Good Friday....WOW! You DO learn something new every day....!
ReplyDeleteI did not have any, I'm sorry to say....! Boo Hoo!
Oh no, I forgot. I haven't had any for a whole year and the idea simply slipped my mind. And I do like them so much.
ReplyDeleteYes, you may send your moss down here.
Those look really yummy, been a long time since i had some. Hope you had a happy easter
ReplyDeleteI had crepes this year, one year I made up some Ukrainian Easter bread, very good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories though, beside the Hot X buns for breakfast we invariably had poached smoke haddock with egg sauce for evening meal.
We were not catholic but Good Friday was the only meat free day of the year for us, I managed to go meat free this year too, just because.
Hello great grandmother :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for greetings, Kiki thanks too.
Baby Melissa wants to send special greetings to Callum and say, that eating and sleeping is best in his age.
Melissa can already for instance throw away plates and cups from the table and find electric lines behind TV and so on, but she is 7 months, it is a long journey from your age Callum.
Take care!
With love Melissa
