(Criss) Cross Buns

Just as how the baking of Cross Buns is a yearly tradition for those that observe Lent and Easter, it has almost become a yearly tradition for me to tweak my Cross Buns recipe. I made some changes to my original recipe last year and was very pleased with the results - the buns are softer with the addition of eggs and melted butter to the dough. And since I was making changes, I thought, it might be nice to criss cross the icing glaze instead of the traditional cross. What do you think?

Batter-up!

In exactly a week from today (Tuesday), it will be Pancake Day, aka Shrove Tuesday. Though we enjoy all types of pancakes throughout the year, people tend to revert to their traditional pancakes on Pancake Day. It's what I do too. I would experiment the week before with some other type of pancake but when the day rolls around, I head to my recipe of Guyanese pancakes, an adaptation of the Portuguese Malasadas.

Here are some pancakes and recipes for you to enjoy. And speaking of enjoyment, I hope that you had a great Love Day today.
