One of the foods I miss the most from Australia are Hot Cross Buns. As soon as Christmas is done and dusted, the supermarkets and bakeries are already in Easter mode (whether you like it or not) and you can find a huge assortment of flavours these days. Given that you can find some amazing Hot Cross Buns from just about any local bakery in Australia, I’m not sure if anyone there would even bother to make their own!

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

One of the things I miss most about Australia are the hot cinnamon donuts that you can get almost everywhere. Growing up in Brisbane, our local shopping centre had a Donut King where you could watch the donuts being made and cooked as you waited for your order. Even if I wasn’t planning on buying cinnamon donuts, just the smell of the hot cinnamon wafting through the air was usually enough to make me join the queue.

And the popular accompaniment to coffee at any Fika are Swedish Cinnamon Buns.

Cinnamon Rolls

As a child, I loved anything which was slathered in icing. And it was a good thing that my parents ran a bakery because there was no shortage of cakes and buns generously decorated with a frosting of some sort. Iced Finger Buns remain a firm favourite from my childhood, but something I was only introduced to as an adult are Cinnamon Rolls.
