Bought the wrong Hot Cross Buns 😩

DH picked up some with caramel by mistake but noticed before we went to pay for them and swapped them for traditional ones.

I have no idea - there's nowt wrong with the traditional recipe!

We’ve got these hot cross buns, for Easter.
They’re lovely.
I just eat them as they are - no butter 🤤

They sound ghastly.

I tried some chocolate ones, awful as a hot cross bun and not the right texture or enough flavour to be a chocolate cake/bun.

I have proper ones for today.

I picked up a pack in Aldi and only spotted the flavour when I got home. Banofee. Yuck. I hate banana flavoured anything.
Still ate them though

M&S were offering -trying to offload- some chilli ones one year, 2-4-1 so I bought them for Mr PG who loved ‘em! I’m a can’t beat ordinary ones, buttered, girl 😋

Mine are proving at the moment - just a traditional recipe.

Help. Mine won’t rise - I think the yeast is dead. What can I do?

apple and cinnamon are amazing

I did try the caramel ones. I actually liked them.
But I agree with traditional is nice.

I hate banana flavoured anything said Grandmabatty. Meanwhile I am enjoying my favourite = traditional Buttered Hot Cross Bun with half a banana squished inside. YUM YUM

I agree with you on the shite chocolate front Witzend. The birds will eat them- my magpies love stale buns and fruit bread. (Someone is going to tell me off now for poisoning wildlif)

Traditional for me…

😂😂😂

I use white chocolate chops in muffins, and they are yummy!

Batch of home made buns going in now. DH is singing at Easter services and concerts, so these are all for me!!

Et voilà! Anyone want to help me eat them?

Traditional ones for me. Well done to you all for making them yourselves.

You have to look very carefully amongst the HCB packets because there are now such a range of flavours most of which Don’t appeal to me.

I even saw cheese and something or other this week.

Joseann I’ll be there in half an hour. YUMMY!

We had some from M&S by mistake which were orange with orange bits in which were very nice.

I hadn't realised there were all those different flavours, they sound awful

I agree. Leave Hot Cross Buns alone, there is only one flavour, any other flavour is sacrilege to the sacred Hot Cross Bun. Make different flavoured buns by all means, but they should not be called Hot Cross Buns!

I'm a traditionalist too.........leave the Hot Cross Buns alone! It's the same with Mince Pies though, all manner of flavours, fillings and methods to top them.......just ghastly!

I love all the different flavours of Hot Cross Buns or Mince Pies - there's nothing wrong with trying something new!
