I just had the first of said hot cross buns, and it was excellent — so fresh that it was still warm from the oven. How terrible you can't get them where you are!
(The best hot cross buns I've ever eaten were those made in the bakery — run by a Swiss guy — where I worked aged 15-18. They were so popular that we had to come into work at 5am on Good Friday (obviously the bakers had been at work overnight) and bag them up into orders, ready to go for the 7am opening time. So many people preordered them that as well as every available shelf and cooling rack being covered with layers of bagged hot cross buns, the entire floor of the bakery and back rooms were covered with at least two or three layers of buns, and we'd have to pick our way gingerly through them to get to the shopfront.)
