Sweet tease of cravings, good day for

digressing from diets; this fine fresh

dough that with clenched fists kneading

avidly, has Good Friday's eager palate

come to the crossroads of iced topping,

 

into oven where aromas burst fourth,

rising – expanding, comfort of sticky

coating shining brown; then toasted

and buttered, rich and fruity to taste;

leaving an expression of fulfillment,

salivating no more.

Thanks for the comment insert. I made some for the first time yesterday, never had the inclination to attempt making my own before...they were delicious.

What a happy poem, full of energy and achievement :0) You really caught how it feels, both the kneading beat at the beginning, and the happiness when the outcome is wonderful as hoped for

Hi Jenny, 

Had mine this morning but I bet your home made ones were a real treat. In the poem I could almost taste the freshness!

Happy Easter    Hilary   smiley

Hi Hilary,

if you could smell the freshness, then I feel I've conveyed the poem right. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Happy Easter to you too.

Hi Jenny

I'm not sure we had hot cross buns in America. But I do like them, although I have never made them myself. But we did make bread and rolls at home, and I remember feeling ever so proud when my mother told me my rolls were more nicely shaped than my older sisters. She did better than me in almost everything, so it was nice to have something I could do better.

Hi Jean,

baking isn't as easy as it looks. I found it very time consuming, but felt the need to at least try making my own hot cross buns once. 

Well done you for having a go at making your own rolls, you must have been so chuffed and I'll bet you were proud, I would be too.

Thank you for reading and sharing your own achievement.
