However, I said "They will eat with pleasure", family and friends swell the numbers!<BR/><BR/>Hot Cross buns - don't go there J, there are so many good versions out there. Here in Devonport NZ, a local baker does chunks of chocolate in the buns - a wonderful addition to tradition!<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter!

Paste the flowers on the egg, tie in handkerchief, and then boil with food colouring in water.<BR/><BR/>I think hot cross buns are too fiddly for what you get out, in these days of supermarket bakeries.

Often you don't get that with commerical products.<BR/><BR/>Malcolm McLeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
