READ: The great hot cross bun debate – raisins or no raisins?

The warm, sweet buns are said to have many origins but the one story that sticks, is that the bun was made in honour of Good Friday (the day that Jesus died), which is why it has a cross on the top –  according to The Kitchn.

Did you know that National Hot Cross Bun Day falls on 11 of September? That means they’re not only reserved for Easter time. These exciting recipes  below demonstrate a few creative ways to enjoy the traditional baked treat. 

1. Hot Cross bunny chow

This South African favourite takes a turn for sweet and we love it!

2. Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream

3. Chocolate hot cross bun loaf

4. Hot cross bun amasi ice cream sandwich

5. Hot cross bun chocolate pudding

6. Hot cross bun and white chocolate cake doughnuts
