Hot Cross Buns are spiced sweet rolls traditionally marked with a cross on top, symbolizing their Christian origins, particularly linked to Easter celebrations in British cuisine. These small, yeast-leavened buns are typically flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice and studded with dried fruits like raisins, currants, or candied peel. Their main ingredients include flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and yeast, with optional glazing for added sweetness. Nutritionally, Hot Cross Buns provide a quick energy boost due to their carbohydrate content, alongside modest amounts of protein and dietary fiber from the dried fruits. However, their sugar levels, especially in glazed or heavily spiced versions, can make them less ideal for daily consumption if you're monitoring added sugars. Moderation is key to enjoying these beloved treats, which represent a nostalgic and cultural link to seasonal festivities.
