I know it is only January, but an idle look at the the Free From section in Tesco and I spotted Hot Cross buns, a traditional food at Easter. They are wheat, gluten and milk free. They have eggs in and cannot be guaranteed nut free due to manufacturing conditions. I note that the dried fruit doesn't have any sulphites, so this is good for those of you that can't handle these.
They come in four separate pouches with a shelf life of a couple of weeks from when I bought them. I didn't stop to check and see if there were any others with a longer best by date.
As usual slice in half and grill for best effect. The photo of the buns slathered in butter isn't my portion - I kept mine dairy free. I showed these as I think they have a touch too much clove in the mixed spice if eaten plain. I suspect the recipe developer assumed people would eat them with some sort of butter-type topping.
These are a good addition to the available food. My taster with the sensitive palate and love of dairy said it would be hard to tell them from wheat hot cross buns and thought people wouldn't notice if they weren't told. If I had made them I would have wanted them to be a touch less dense, but they were very reasonable and conveniently packaged for a mixed household or travel.
