These fluffy, sweet buns are said to have first appeared in 12th-century England. Originally part of the Anglo-Saxon Easter tradition, they were baked to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus””with the cross on top as a symbol. Interestingly, the buns are also divided into four parts, said to represent the phases of the moon and the four seasons.
Today, we’re baking them simply because they make the kitchen smell amazing“”and they’re perfect for breakfast, tea time, or dessert during the Easter break (and beyond). Traditionally made with raisins, we’ve swapped them for chocolate for that extra cosy, comforting touch.
