If you’re not away from home or busy with family this weekend, why not indulge in a little Easter baking and whip up some sweet treats!?
Traditionally eaten on Good Friday, it is said that hot cross buns were first made by a monk in St Albans Abbey in the 14th century, to distribute to the poor. The Royal Pastry Chefs have shared their recipe and method to make these delicious Easter buns.
Once you’ve made (or bought … we won’t tell!) your hot cross buns, try this recipe for hot cross bun bread pudding, courtesy of The National Trust.
If hot cross buns aren’t your thing, Countryfile magazine shares their recipe for gingerbread Easter bunnies.
Or, for sheer decadence, try BBC Good Food’s recipe for Easter egg brownies.
Happy baking!
