#nationalhotcrossbunsday
The bun's sweet flavor is enhanced by currants or raisins baked into the bun. It's marked with a cross as shown in the name of this baked product.. Bakers use a doughy paste baked into the bread to make the cross. Often, icing is used to make the cross instead.
In several historically Christian countries, hot cross buns are traditionally eaten at the end of Lent. The cross is a symbol of the Crucifixion, and Lent begins the evening before Ash Wednesday to Good Friday.. This spiced sweet bun has some folklore and history, as well as its traditional role as a traditional treat.
