Hot Cross Bun

A hot cross bun is a sweet, spiced bread roll traditionally made with currants or raisins. It features a distinctive white cross on top, created from a flour and water paste or icing, symbolizing the Easter season and the crucifixion of Jesus. Usually enjoyed toasted and spread with butter, these buns are popular in many countries during springtime, especially around Easter. The combination of warm spices, dried fruit, and the cross design makes them both a festive treat and a symbol of tradition.
