Hot Cross Buns

Oh, absolutely. And keep them for Holy Week, not just after Christmas…
If they want to sell them throughout the year, call them “tea cakes” or something, not HCB.

Original HCB for me every time. If they aren't the usual recipe are they really hot cross buns?

Flavoured hot cross buns-yummy or an abomination? Gransnet

I had trouble finding plain HCBs in Tesco last week I agree a HCB is a HCB any thing else is a flavoured bun.

Sorry MAW O didn’t know there was already a thread about this - but tbf it was started at beginning of March - much too soon for me to be considering. HCB 😀

Nonsense Atqui - you need time to do the research! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tesco has sold out online.

Does anyone make their own and do you have a good recipe you can recommend please?

Tesco Gluten Free HCBs are scrumptious! 😋 I think they’ve cut down on the fruit a bit this year, but still very good.

That’s worth knowing Squiffy , thanks

Just eaten one of Tesco's! Little dog is not every keen however.

Yes, mucked up HCBs are grim!

Your dh sounds a bit like mine, OP - I have to impress on him to READ THE #@#*@# LABEL!!!!
This after he’s come home with e.g. pork mince instead of beef, and a joint of pork instead of gammon. (‘I thought it was gammon,’ he said, all injured.)

Before anyone asks, it’s not that he does it on purpose - he actually likes food shopping - especially buying expensive things in M&S when my usual shop is Asda.

Another one here who doesn’t eat hot cross buns until Holy Week - and just the traditional ones!

I've just done my ocado shop for thursday and i had wade through loads of flavoured buns before i got to the just normal m&s ones!

We eat them all year round here. I just miss out the cross, apart from Holy Week, when I bake them.

Lidl super fruity ones are amazing, they have lots of dried red fruits in them. Freezing a few for when they are not available.

M&S golden blond choc and salted caramel…lush 😋

Nah, leave hot cross buns alone and take your fancy flavours somewhere else.
