Buns That Are Hot
A bakery in Auckland was proclaimed as producing the best hot cross buns in NZ for 2022.
The judges were glowing in their praise.
The baker responsible is from Germany whose baking skills is part of a family tradition going back 600 years.
So I made enquiries. It would cost $4.50 per bun as well as $13.50 for courier and handling fees for a dozen.
I looked for alternatives not wanting just any hc bun for this special time of the year. And came up with the bakery in Waiwhetu Road, Lower Hutt.
If German baking skills is the key, this was the perfect double because this Lower Hutt bakery has Germany written all over it.
And so for a car drive and $2.50 each we got our hot cross buns this morning. Because they sell out fast each day, had to be at the shop by 9am but it was all worthwhile. Delicious. Main ingredience sour dough bread, lovely richly spiced and superbly glazed.
The Hutt Valley has its own "best hot cross buns in the nation" and at almost half the price.
