Can you believe it's March already?!
Though the year is flying by at an alarming pace, I'm super happy that hot cross bun season is upon us. Eeee!
Sure, a hot cross bun is just fruit loaf in a cuter outfit, but I can't help but be a little obsessed. There is nothing better than curling up in front of a good book or DVD with a cup of tea and a scrumptious Easter bun. My favourites come from those quirky fellows over at Bakers Delight, but, surprisingly, the Woolies bakery has come up with the goods this year as well.
Technically hot cross buns are only supposed to come out for Easter Friday, but that marvelously accurate historical resource Wikipedia reckons these baked bad boys have been around since pagan times and perhaps even Ancient Egypt. Though it may reveal the depths of my history geekdom, but check out this quaint New York Times article from 1912, espousing the rights and rituals of the humble hot cross bun.
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny.
