What do you put on your hot cross bun?

I love hot cross buns at Easter, but I only ever have them with butter - toasted or untoasted.

I thought that was what everyone did, but DH has to have them toasted with butter and jam?!

How do you eat yours? :D

    Cold salted butter and nothing else - jam would just make it all too sweet, and there's something so delicious about the contrast between a toasty-warm hot cross bun and cold butter. The same goes for crumpets.
  • Butter on the top and jam on the bottom...my nan used to make them with me & now my mum makes them with my two. :)

    Just butter!


    Anything else would spoil the taste of the bun.

    I thought you just put a cross on it.

    My grandson doesn't have butter so has jam or Nutella !
    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.
  • If it's really hot and cross, Vallium works quite well.

    I eat them unadorned, or split with mandarin marmalade / raspberry conserve. Yum.
