Authentic Hot Cross Buns - Traditional Spiced Easter Treats #3396231 (License: Personal Use)

This artisanal hot cross bun features a deeply golden, slightly cracked crust with a shiny sugar glaze, revealing plump raisins and flecks of cinnamon or nutmeg within the tender crumb. The traditional white icing cross is piped cleanly across the top, symbolizing the crucifixion, and adds a subtle sweetness that balances the warm spices. Its rustic, hand-formed shape suggests homemade quality and seasonal celebration.
