| ... 4 kinds of Hot Cross Buns .. . |
Cobbs Bakery must be very close to us.
Early Saturday or Sunday morning Steve often slips out of the house to bring us home cinnamon bread, or a Danish Seed Bread or a Jewish challah.
He is so regular so often that it's not a surprise to me anymore when it comes in. I don't like to think that his trip has become a right. I recommend to mysefl, calling it a privilege.
Rebecca went out last to Cobbs last week and when she came home she had purchased four kinds of hot cross buns, each of which she cut into four pieces, put on four plates, and then delivered a tasting menu to all of us who were near the kitchen. That was quite a bit of fun, to have each recipe delivered, still in that warmish state as though the bread were freshly baked.
I can tell when bread has been freshly baked. To illustrate this point, I'm always telling Rebecca not to use the word very as she types, but in this case it would be correct to say the bread was very freshly baked. So delicious and and just the right amount on each plate. I think we had regular hot cross buns, mixed fruit, cinnamon and apricot --, one quarter of a recipe 4 times around.

I had no idea that Hot Cross buns are typically sold on Good Friday until I looked up lyrics of a rhyme you taught me as a child.
ReplyDeletehot cross buns,
hot cross buns
one a penny,
two a penny,
hot cross buns
I hope the bakers palm was graced with more than 8 pennies. They do look delicious.
I can remember licking the cross off the top. It wouldn't have been as fun if I had had the association of the cross of crucificion.

i liked this post Arta, but it wasn't very nice of you to point out my overuse of the word very....
ReplyDeleteI think the last line of the Hot Cross Bun rhyme goes, "if you have no daughter, give them to your sons", whatever that could mean.
ReplyDeleteAs well, I used to put the cross on top with icing. Lately I have seen people do it with another colour of dough. Yuck to that idea.
