BEST BUNS IN THE BAROSSa!

10/4/2014

Journalists in various Capital city press leading up to Easter have been trying to discover the best Hot Cross buns for Easter...but the poor things have not been to the Barossa Valley!

The absolute best buns can be had from bakers across the Barossa - none more so than from the Baker St bakery in Williamstown. Serious gourmands we know claim they're the best you'll get - so why not make a trip to Williamstown (via the Chain of Ponds, the prettiest way to get to the Barossa) and snap them up! But be early, they're going like hot cakes!
Baker Jess Sankey shows off her Hot Cross buns in our picture (yeah, there's four missing - but we couldn't help ourselves as they came out of the oven!)

And here are some things you might not know about the superstitions behind Hot Cross buns:

One of them says that buns baked and served on Good Friday will not spoil or mould during the subsequent year. Another encourages keeping such a bun for medicinal purposes. A piece of it given to someone who is ill is said to help them recover.

Sharing a Hot Cross bun with another is supposed to ensure friendship throughout the coming year, particularly if "Half for you and half for me, Between us two shall goodwill be" is said at the time. 


Because there is a cross on the buns, some say they should be kissed before being eaten. If taken on a sea voyage, hot cross buns are said to protect against shipwreck (we note that there were no Hot Cross buns on the Titanic!). If hung in the kitchen, they are said to protect against fires and ensure that all breads turn out perfectly.

So we'll see you at Baker St at Williamstown!
