Hot Cross Bun

Cultural Context

Hot Cross Buns have their roots in medieval England, traditionally eaten on Good Friday. The cross symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus, while the spices represent the spices used to embalm him. Today, they are enjoyed year-round, often served toasted with butter, and have inspired variations worldwide, including fruit-filled and chocolate versions.
