Hot Cross Buns

Posted by Priory Fine Pastrieson March 5, 2010

The hot cross bun is an English culinary icon for Lent. Made from buttery dough seasoned with allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves, hot cross buns get their name from the mark that’s scored on them before they’re baked or squiggled on them with fondant icing once they come out of the oven.

For the best Hot Cross Buns in Pittsburgh, come to Priory Fine Pastries!  Our Hot Cross Buns are baked in the shape of cross and our extra delicious!  Call us today to pre-order yours!
