M&S lead product developer, Sandy Tchilinguirian says the secret to our success is our top-secret spice blend: “Our hot cross buns are made by expert bakers who have a baking heritage stretching over 140 years, and our recipe is a closely guarded secret, so you won’t find these buns in any other supermarket! We’ve been tweaking the ratios in the spice blend used to make our award-winning Luxury Hot Cross Buns since 2002, and we carry out regular taste-tests to ensure the flavour is spot on.”
Discover a bun for every taste in store, from the classic fruit-packed treat to vegan Plant Kitchen versions, gluten-free buns from our Made Without range and even cheesy, chocolatey and caramel varieties. All our hot cross buns are in our 2 for €4.50 deal.
Luxury Hot Cross Buns
These buns are the OG, rich and aromatic and packed full of juicy fruits including sultanas and Vostizza currants, mixed peel and our scrumptious spice blend. Sandy says: “Our buns are packed with carefully selected juicy fruit and follow a unique recipe to ensure the fruit remains intact and plump before being carefully baked, creating a moreish, soft and fluffy texture.” It comes as no surprise that 50% of hot cross buns sold at M&S are our Luxury Hot Cross Buns.
