Oooer!
nice buns indeed IT’S a hot debate. Which Hot Cross Bun gets the tick of approval, and which one gets a (Family Feud style bowboow) cross this time of year. Let us weigh in to the debate and introduce you, (for the sadly unacquainted), to RedBeard Historic Bakery’s Organic Wood-fired Hot X Bun. This award winning Easter treat (Best Hot Cross Bun, Herald Sun 2011), is hand crafted by those clever bakers at RedBeard (38A High Street Trentham). They don’t believe in big chunks of orange peel, (bless ‘em). Instead, there’s a subtle citrus hit muddled with spice and organic, locally sourced dried fruit, and let’s just say… served warm with butter… hot damn girlfriend!! Hot X Buns are $3 each or $14 for ½ doz at RedBeard, selected Farmers’ Markets, or the weekly Daylesford Sunday Market, (Daylesford Train Station, 18 Raglan Street) till the end of Easter. kd
