Characterized by the presence of raisins and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, they are distinguished by the characteristic cross on the surface, made with a paste of flour and water. These rolls have ancient origins and are rich in symbolism: the cross represents the crucifixion of Christ, while the spices symbolize the aromas used for his burial. Traditionally eaten on Good Friday, today they are appreciated year-round, often served warm with butter or jam. Soft, slightly sweet and fragrant, Hot Cross Buns are perfect to accompany tea or a special breakfast.
