Hot cross bun fans are in for a treat this Easter, with the announcement that Tesco will be releasing its most innovative range of buns to date, including a new hybrid variation – Hot Cross Scones.
A UK supermarket first, the Easter treat combines the spices found in hot cross buns, with the crumbly texture of a traditional scone. Available in store and online now, each pack of two costs £1.
Made with Cornish buttermilk and Cornish clotted cream, with a citrus flavour and currants throughout, this new twist on the classic Easter staple is one of 10 variations featuring in this year’s range of Tesco hot cross bun inspired products, featuring new and returning favourites.
Also new to the range is the Tesco Finest Maple Syrup and Blueberry Hot Cross Buns. Returning favourite flavours include salted caramel & chocolate, apple & cinnamon and St Clements hot cross buns with orange-soaked sultanas and raisins.
Nicola Orchard, Product Development Manager, said: “Our new Hot Cross Scones combine the crumble of a scone with the fruity flavour of a hot cross bun, and we expect them to be huge a hit with our customers this Easter. As with traditional scones, you can serve with Cornish cream and a touch of strawberry jam – but the big question is, do you put your jam or cream on first?"
