Hot Cross Buns – An English treat

You may have heard the nursery rhyme about hot cross buns but never knew what they were.  “Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns!” This nursery rhyme comes from the call of bun vendors who would sell these traditional Easter treats for people to eat at the end of Lent.
Queen Elizabeth I thought they were somewhat decadent and ordered they could only be eaten during Easter and certain other special religious festivals. Nowadays they are popular throughout the year and sold at supermarkets. Queen Elizabeth I would not have approved.
A hot cross bun is sweet bun made with spices and raisins inside and marked with a cross on the outside. The religious symbolism of the cross is self-evident and the bun is supposed to represent Communion. In historic times, hot cross buns had a whole host of myths associated with them. For example, a hot cross bun baked on Good Friday could be used as medicine throughout the year.
If you would like to try your hand at baking a hot cross bun yourself, check out this recipe from BBC Good Food.
