- One a penny, two a penny – hot cross buns! These toothsome, yeasty rolls (with their tell-tale icing) have been celebrated by children for hundreds of years. And what kid wouldn't want to snack on them? Plump raisins, candied orange peel and candied lemon peel add old-fashioned sweetness and texture; ground cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice spike the flavor with their natural, mellow heat. We love these split, toasted and spread with sweet cream butter.
