What is your favourite holiday, and what do you eat then?

"Easter. Hot cross buns are rad."

Columbia, Adelaide, Australia

Hot cross buns are often eaten over the Easter holiday- particularly on Good Friday. 

In Australia, they seemed to be consumed all year. I saw hot cross buns in most bakeries and grocery stores. A popular variation I often spotted was cocoa with chocolate chips; fantastic warm with some soft butter. 

I bought these buns at a bakery, so no recipe today. However,  check out Aussie blog Meet Me At Mike's for a lovely tutorial on making these treats.
