 Hot Cross Buns are an Easter tradition here in Australia.

In my childhood they were available for sale in the very few weeks prior to Easter - nowdays due to the retail giants NEEDING to string us from holiday to holiday, this year Hot Crossed Buns were available merely a week after Christmas - OBSCENE - where will it end?

To lodge my protest at their prematurity, I REFUSED to buy the traditional fruit ones. Instead I grabbed a six pack of Chocolate Chip (a VERY recent evolution of the Hot Crossed Bun)- that'll teach them!

plain and simple yet complex and involved.

I like the repetitive pattern here - square within square within square etc. Very cool. And it sure does look yummy!

Lovely photo, I've heard of hot cross buns but never had one and have never heard of the chocolate ones.

Tee hee! That sounds like such a drastic protest, surely next year they will have gotten the message and will wait until a week before Easter again :)

I don't know that I've ever heard of Hot Crossed Buns. I don't know if they sell them here and just don't make that big a deal of them or if I've just missed them -- but they sure look yummy. I don't even want to get started :)
