Easter preparations - the Knickerbocker Glory

I’ve been making a lot of hot cross buns lately, it’s nice because the dough is enriched with butter and resaturated fruit a bit like Christmas cake they has a wonderful aroma when cooking.

I bet they taste wonderful 

Although unfortunately I have always seen dried fruit as bugs so that puts me off

They're selling roasted crickets in Sainsbury's but I'm not rushing to try one. It might resolve the problem in hot climates, when they get swarms. Look at dried fruits through a magnifying lens and it might help reacquaint you with them in a positive way. Dried cranberries are especially nice in biscuits and cakes. 

I've always know fruit shortcake biscuits as squashed fly biscuits.

Your buns look great, well done

Wishing you a good Easter.

Yes, you too, B . In a way, I envy you. It's very hard deciding what to buy and I sometimes plan things then don't want to eat them. If you have narrow choices, it makes life far easier. If I make things like chilli, I could eat it over 4 days and be content, so maybe I need to narrow down a bit.
