Hot cross bun treat

The cross on the hot cross buns made at Cherie’s Bakeries and Deli on Tweedside Road, St Michael, are made with icing sugar, and according to owner Cheryl Reid, “that is what gives them the extra flavour”.
Reid, who has been making hot cross buns since she opened in 1996, said instead of using the flour paste as seen on the regular buns, she makes hers a bit sweet and different.  
However, she reserves Holy Thursday for making the special pastry. Yesterday she made 200 buns, which she said were snapped up quickly.
