Hot Cross Buncakes
Whilst I LOVE Hot Cross Buns, they can be a bit of a fiddle, so this year, in honour of the usual recipe we offer, we thought hot cross buncakes would be a bit of fun and actually, they were completely delish and we highly recommend this option for the non bakers amongst you!
Hoppy Easter, and if you are so inclined, make sure you check out our MANY more traditional Hot Cross bun options. There are plenty;
