Votive Offering - Delayed
I made Hot Cross Buns today. OK I know I am three weeks late, but I have a good reason- the oven was bust and took three weeks to get repaired (under guarantee). Of course by that time Easter had come and gone. To make amends I bought some expensive hot cross buns on Good Friday from an artisan bakery at over £1 each. Either by accident or design they had no fruit in them aside from some candied peel. It didn't pass muster with family. So today I gave in to the request for "the real thing" and baked this batch.
I am happy to report that they passed the taste test.
The top picture also shows off our new kitchen table covering. Doesn't that hen look peckish?
Candied peel is the one thing that makes me dislike hot cross buns. Let's not get into the subject of bust ovens,
