BALFOURS HOT X BUN with COFFEE
Hopefully you are a Barista and can make a great coffee, but how do you prepare the Hot X Bun for your customer.

Hot Cross Buns with their combination of spicy, sweet and fruity flavours have long been an Easter tradition in Australia. 

Firstly you take a bun out of the pack and cut it horizontally through the centre. You will need to place the 2 halves in a toaster or under the griller until lightly toasted on both sides.

When the halves are golden brown remove them from the heat and liberally butter the inside faces of the bun. Preferable use real butter but margarine will do. Eat straight away while the butter is melting and the bun is hot.

For a decadent twist add some jam or honey after the butter and wash down with a sensational coffee.

Under no circumstances should these buns be microwaved.
