You’re right – I’m from Monaghan and my dad loves an aul hot cross bun! He’s especially partial to the fancy schmancy ones from Marks & Spencer though…
As buns go, they are alright. This is, if they are treated like any other refined white bread roll eg hot and buttered with jam or some other filling.
Cakes they are not however and for some reason some people bring them into the office expecting them to get eaten, stone cold out of a packet with nothing to put in them.
As if we don’t have enough empty calories in our diets already!
In the 60’s both my Grandmother’s baked hotcross buns, they were delicious with a lovey texture. Bewley’s mad great ones as well back then. The ones for sale now seem just pap.
