Hot Cross Buns are delightfully spiced, sweet buns that are leavened with yeast and studded with dried or fresh fruit and candied citrus peel. The tops are adorned with white crosses made of icing or flour, or a combination of both. Traditionally, pastry dough was used for the crosses, or it was cut onto the dough with a knife. Did you know that the tradition of hot cross buns on Good Friday was started by a 12th century monk?
According to the smithsonianmag.com, in 1592, Queen Elizabeth decreed that hot cross buns could no longer be sold on any day except Good Friday, because of how holy it is. Check out this article for more facts about hot cross buns! www.smithsonia...
