What are the best hot cross buns that money can buy? I'm enjoying this brioche choc chip variety from Woolies but thinking there must be better.
Probably Bakers Delight because they're baked fresh that morning.
I second these. And third.. and fourth and fifth. And I’d really better stop because my pants are getting tight
A few days ago, I made a sandwich out of hot cross bun and rotisserie chicken.
Cannibal Creek Bakehouse in Garfield. Just a short Vline trip for the Melbournites. Wood fired brioche buns are to die for.
I’ve had some damn nice ones at gourmet bakeries, but there’s none near me and also expensive for regular consumption. If it’s between Coles, Woolies and Bakers delight, Bakers is the best for sure.
I like the standard fruit and also choc chip. I’m not a puritan and occasionally try the other flavours. If you are feeling exceptionally brave I saw pizza shapes flavoured buns at the supermarket. It’s gone too far. Why. Just why.
