We tried the Easter favourite from Asda, Aldi, Tesco, M&S, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Morrisons
It’s that time of year again where daffodils sprout up everywhere, the evenings are gradually becoming lighter and Creme Eggs have become an acceptable substitute for dinner.
READ MORE: We made Domino's Creme Egg cookies for less than half the price and they tasted even better Not content with a simple bun plump with fruit, supermarkets have experimented with chocolate, vanilla and toffee flavours, while on the savoury side, there’s cheese and chilli options to try out too.
The other hot cross buns were sourced from Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Tesco and Morrisons - and lining them up on the kitchen sideboard it’s quite interesting to see how much they vary in terms of size, glaze, and quantity of fruit. Lidl offers a slightly more rugged and less uniform shape but there’s plenty of fruit. To taste though, it’s a little less impactful and, while it’s fairly light, we don’t get the same strong taste as other buns.
We want things to perk up with Aldi and its glossy hot cross bun but it ends up being a bit chalky to taste. The fruit is plump and pops, but really it’s a bit underwhelming. It sadly didn't get much better got with Morrisons. It was so light you could throw it and the cross seemed to have seeped into the rest of the bun.
