Spiced Buns
Spiced Buns are a type of sweet, spiced bread that is often enjoyed during festive occasions, particularly around Easter and Christmas. They are typically made with a rich dough that includes ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter, along with a blend of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Dried fruits, like raisins or currants, are commonly added for extra flavor and texture.
These buns are usually shaped into round or oval forms and may be topped with a cross made from flour and water, symbolizing their connection to Christian traditions. Once baked, they are often served warm and can be enjoyed plain or with butter, making them a popular treat for gatherings and celebrations.
