I hate when people try and change traditonal shit by adding stuff.

Leave the shit alone. If it’s not broke…no fixing is necessary

As gino D'Acampo says - if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle

And ANYTHING other than traditional hot cross buns

Not a fan of traditional, gotta be either choc chip or plain for me.

You make it sound like I’m going for the Vegemite and Iced VoVo buns.

I've tried the Vegemite ones but they weren't Vegemitey enough for my liking

I didn't mind the Bischoff ones that were available last year

But I'm the crazy one who buys choc chip HCBs and then puts Vegemite on them

Was not expecting to read that people are putting Vegemite on chocolate chip hot cross buns

The other really good way of using choc chip HCBs is get a single serve ramekin which is a perfect fit for the bun - after cutting it in half, fill with either choc spread or simply chocolate and then turn it into an individual serve bread & butter pudding idea


I grew up being learning from my dad that Vegemite goes on everything - mum's freshly baked scones (one of the few things she cooked when I was growing up as it was dad's kitchen) and we'd both top them with butter & Vegemite

Fruit loaf when toasted was topped with butter & Vegemite, and then it's turned into Vegemite on hot cross buns

Makes sense. Salty with sweet can be a great combo

If they tried to make me eat one I'd slap it out of their hand but beyond that...

I don’t see any point to “fruitless buns - WTF!!! They’re supposed to have FRUIT, otherwise don’t bother, have a donut.

I confess to having tried the apple and cinnamon, not bad, but one was enough.

I also tried a Coles chocolate one ……
…………………………..
It was bloody delicious

But my point is, the above shouldn’t be called hot cross buns because THEY ARE NOT.

I agree - I'm happy to call them choc chip buns, no need for the hot cross part

Your mention of donuts made me think of Ferguson Plarre who last year had a 'jam donut hot cross buns'

It looked nothing like a hot cross buns, tasted nothing like one but rather a lil square sweet bun with a hole in the top filled with donut jam

The apple and cinnamon ones are my favourite

[Gralin]

I added Vegemite once when making chocolate crackles as a kid.
