Hot Cross Buns

In my column this week, I share my challenges of coming up with a recipe for cross buns and even daring to offer my mom (who is a good baker) something that came out of the oven not looking like the cross buns we both knew at all.

Read the column and come share any similar stories you may have. Also, if you'd like my new recipe, the result of which is exhibited above, email me.

Dr. Soumya Bhat,

Yes, yes, yes - that is the song and the buns. It is really delicious and great with a cup of tea. Have you ever eaten a cross bun?

hi Cynthia, I am sure your mom would have felt very happy at heart that you made it for her with so much love. however the buns might have turned out to be, she surely must have felt proud for you. All mothers are like that, wether they express or not!!
wish you happy Easter.
read your article.

cheers

Cynthia said...

@ Asha - so you're not making cross buns for Easter anymore? I made these 2 weeks ago in preparation for my column. Of course, they have all been consumed by loved ones. I do not plan to make another batch but will make something else too. Not sure what...

Full song:
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns
one a penny two a penny
hot cross buns
if you have no daughters
give them to your sons
one a penny two a penny
hot cross buns

This rhyme must be one of the few times the girls get to choose the food before the boys :)
