Flavourless Hot Cross Buns

I cannot detect even a hint of spice in any of the hot cross buns again this year, they all seem to be a dense teacake and are only good for toast.
Anyone else noticed?

Tescos finest extra fruity are v nice. ? You could always sprinkle a little cinnamon on the melted butter for extra spice

Lidl, may be the same as the sainsbury's ones mentioned above.
but bound to be cheaper. have cinnamon, apple pieces and orange infused sultanas.
infused. not marinated. i imagine a very tiny syringe and a very precise confectioner...
and isn't a sultana the wife of a sultan; wonder if it's something to do with vaccinations, all these images flying around my head.
just as well i don't take hard liquor.

Just eaten one from M&S. it was gorgeous. Nice plump fruit, well spiced. Very tasty and top marks from me.

We love Lidl's hot cross buns. Full of fruit and spice. 70p for 4 (from memory).

I bought the M&S blueberry flavour ones. Had one this afternoon and I agree with OP no flavour or spices whatsoever - very disappointing. Next year will go with traditional.
