‘Hot Cross Buns’ traditionally would be bought hot directly from the local baker on a Good Friday and eaten hot straight away unadulterated by toasting and buttering. To me this is traditionally the right way. Such a thing as a grill didn’t exist for most people, hence the baker’s calling out ‘Hot Cross Buns For Sale’ to attract the buyers to his door to buy straight from his oven. Long gone are the days of toasting your bread on a toasting fork in front the fire for breakfast, as I remember as a child when on holiday staying with grand parents. All such fun for us pre 1955. Oh for the long gone days of cottage life !
