oooh Yummy. Especially all those Cadbury Easter Eggs. Isn't it amazing - our hot cross buns have the cross square on to the bun, whilst yours are diagonal. I never even thought to wonder about the direction of the cross until I saw this image.
@seacreature well spotted Desi. All our hot cross buns are square on the bun too, except these. They're from a local bakery and they use the diagonal cross to show the ones made from spelt flour 😄 I bought some last year and they were delicious.
I would say that they’re not a big tradition here, at least not in my area. Fasnachts which are eaten on Shrove Tuesday are much more traditional in my neck of the woods.
