Hot Cross Buns With Icing
"Traditionally, Hot Cross Buns are served on Good Friday prior to Easter. We think these sweet buns makes a wonderful breakfast bread to be served year-round, not just springtime! Softly spicy, tender, and rich, homemade Hot Cross Buns are sooo much better than store-bought! Don’t forget the traditional icing cross on top. To Christians, the cross represents Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, which is commemorated on “Good Friday,” two days prior to Easter. See how the date of Easter is calculated. ..."
