Hot cross buns are a staple across the UK at Easter. You can enjoy them as a breakfast, snack, afternoon tea or dessert and there are now so many flavours on offer even if you don't like the traditional fruit buns, you are bound to find one you like. And the supermarkets have gone overboard this year with their offerings, from tiramisu and rhubarb flavourings to buns infused with fudge, cheese and apple.
So if you are wondering what the best buns are, we have tried 31 different buns to give you a breakdown of the best, the classics, and perhaps the ones to avoid. But we thought the supermarkets had done so well, there were perhaps only three most wouldn't have again, and all would be great toasted with a little butter - but then who doesn't love a toasted hot cross bun? Overall impressions We were impressed with the overall quality of the buns, but Tesco's bun texture stood out as the best, although Asda, Aldi, Waitrose and Co-op had great buns too. Unfortunately, Lidl and Iceland's bun texture seemed a little dry and hard at times, so perhaps a look at their recipe for next year.
Morrisons buns came middle of the range because they were just not as soft as the others, and the same is true of Amazon's offering. So what new flavours should you be toasting up and trying this Easter?
