| | Hot cross bun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A hot cross bun is a type of sweet spiced bun made with currants and leavened with yeast. | | | It has a cross on the top which might be made in a variety of ways: it could be pastry, made from a simple flour and water mixture, cut from rice paper and glazed onto the bun, or simply cut into the bun itself. | | | In many historically Christian countries, the buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of Christ. |

| | Star: Are hot cross buns so hot? |
| | The fruit was lacking, the buns dry and doughy with an artificial spicy flavour that left an aftertaste. | | | The buns had a very overpowering fake apple flavour that was unpleasant, which masked the little spice there was in the bun. | | | Sadly, the bun that is said to have originated from a small wheat cake eaten at the spring festival in honour of Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess, has become a commercial product far removed from the traditional recipe. |

| | The traditional hot cross bun contains flour, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, currants and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, and the cross on the top may be cut into the bun or made out of pastry strips. | | | Still, there’s not a lot of fat in hot cross buns so I was prepared for the ‘low fat’ varieties to surprise me. | | | For me, their rather extreme spiciness verged on bitterness, whereas the standard M&S buns had a nicer balance, and were still spicier than most. |

| | The cross also represents the four seasons, or the four phases of the moon, and were found on the sacrificial bread of lunar goddesses of many cultures. | | | In modern times we associate hot cross buns with Good Friday, or at least with the lenten season, but it took a decree from Queen Elizabeth I to limit consumption of hot cross buns to proper religious ceremonies, such as Christmas, Easter or funerals. | | | After surviving at least two thousand years of cultural change the humble hot cross bun is definitely here to stay. |
