Hot cross buns are enriched with buttermilk and flavored with bourbon-soaked currants, enhancing their traditional appeal.
While nothing beats a hot cross bun bought from a traditional bakery or one made at home, there were a couple of supermarket versions that are worth buying. The best all-rounder being Waitrose richly fruited hot cross buns, which stand out for their plumper and richer fruit flavor. Best splurge goes to M&S luxury fruited hot cross buns, despite being light on spices but generous with fruit.
