Today at Coffee Club we swapped Tim Tams for Hot cross buns to celebrate Easter!
Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday in Australia, Britain, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and some parts of the Americas. The buns mark the end of Lent and different parts of the hot cross bun have a certain meaning; including the cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices signifying the spices used to preserve him at his burial.
They are typically a spiced sweet bun but we also had some chocolate ones which we enjoyed warmed up with butter 🙂
