Title: Best hot cross buns
Post by: nearly50 on April 13, 2017, 10:33:14 AM
Which is your favourite? I love them - I've eaten so many it is ridiculous, next week I'm going back to sensible eating!

My favourite is from Greggs, though I have bought some of the cheese ones from M&S which I have not tried yet - sounds interesting... Morrisons one are good too!  :)

Haha, I think I've ate so many of them because I want to make the most of not feeling bloated and with stomach pain, but if I was sensible I'd realise this is likely to cause bloating and stomach pain.......

M&S ones are good.

apart from the cheese ones, really didn't like them!

My last lot are Morrisons 'the best' ones. I'm glad they only come out a few months of the year or I'd be the size of a house.

I have done extensive research into this and I have to say, I find Aldi brioche ones by far the best.

Toasted with a bit of real welsh salted butter, yummy  :)

Claireylou: Does the 'extensive research' last all year  ;D

Oh yes. I'm very thorough CLKD,

I've got a recipe for home made ones passed down from my great grandmother. That keeps me going for the rest of the year  ;D

Someone has to do the research. These old recipes are often the best, no messing with unnecessary extras like cheese.  :sick02:

There were, cubagirl.   Maybe one or two of them will come again.......

Oh I'm sure they'll return dulciana.  ;)

They don't always.  Christmas and Easter often brings them there but that's not reflected in the weekly attendance.   Sad.

Someone once offended my parents by asking them what denomination they were.  Mother replied 'C of E' to which this rude person said to them 'oh yes, Christmas and Easter'  >:(

No spontaneity, too much reading from printed service sheets..............

I can see where you're coming from, Stellajane.   The point of the printed service sheets - and this is not just in the Anglican church - is that the words, which have stood the test of time, are devotional and can be prayerfully meant while they are spoken in the service.  But as you say, each to their own.
