For those who have hot cross buns at Easter, do you have them hot or cold.
My family have them hot, my partner’s family have them cold, and the argument raged all Easter Sunday. How do you have them?

I like that the dilemma caused spirited conversation! I bake them and they are usually gone within minutes so it’s hot in this family.

It has to be hot... I also like to split them and insert a cheese..

I have to admit that I’ve never baked hot cross buns, I should give it a try. We also had a spirited debate about scones. We all agreed that the cream goes on top of the jam, but fights broke out as to whether they should be buttered first.
Does anybody else have traditional dishes that cause fights?

Oh no ! Buttered scones give me the willies but I’m fond of raspberry jam on them. My kids will insist on nothing but orange marmalade pasted over the tops. There are so many ways to enjoy !

Not according to my partner’s family!
I’m afraid I’m all for butter, jam and cream. The richer the better.

Oh wow, I’ve never tried that, it sounds great ( but don’t tell my partner’s family, they’ll probably take out a contract on you )

Cheese actually sounds like a good bet! Shhh we will keep that quiet

Hotcross buns are better hot, but with butter. Real butter. They are fine when cold, but it loses some of its texture.

Today I found yet another way to have a scone. As I was walking into town, I saw one sat in the middle of someone’s driveway. I’d have take a photo as proof if links were allowed.

either way is ok but my preference is warmed up with loads of butter mmmmmm

I like them hot and add either cheese or butter. Very delicious.

I also prefer it got. Because once it’s done I eat it right away don't really have the patience for it to get cold lol

I usually have them hot but don't mind them cold either.

I love them refrigerated.
