Thanks Barry. Last Easter in an attempt to get the 'best' hot cross buns, I read lots of blogs, and we waited in a long line outside one of the recommended bakeries. I guess it's a subjective thing, because the buns didn't taste that great. We ended up buying another lot from Coles and really enjoying them (we like doughy and fruity). I wasn't surprised to see Coles buns voted as the best in Choice Magazine this year.

Excellent point Myrtle. While each city has it's own special bakeries, we're lucky that the supermarket HCBs are still enjoyable at a discount price. Choice has a recipe too, home-made are even better! https://www.choice.com.au/food-and-drink/bread-cereal-and-grains/bread/articles/hot-cross-buns
