I made hot cross buns tonight.

They have cinnamon and sultanas, nothing fancy. Messed up the lines a bit, but it’s just flour and water so they don’t add to the taste whatsoever.

As dough balls do, they sometimes proof in to weird shapes you don’t expect. 🤷🏻‍♀️ An unevenly heating oven also does not help.

Happy Easter!

    There are also currants, just to complicate matters further!

    Per Wikipedia:

    The word raisin is commonly used for the dried dark-colored seedless grape, while sultana is a golden-colored dried grape, and currant is a dried small Black Corinth seedless grape.

    I think there might be some small differences in how they’re produced? But they’re all dried grapes.

      I’ve seen currant lambic beers (maybe I tried one once), sure didn’t know it was another raisin. Didn’t know that the different grapes all got different names once dried. I guess I learned something today. That’s always nice. Thanks.

      Probably! I think I’ve only eaten currants in fresh form when they come in frozen mixed fruit bags.
