Morrisons Lemon Drizzle Hot Cross Buns (£1.25 for four)
Another supermarket which joins the dessert train is Morrisons with its lemon drizzle flavour. And as these buns are part of their premium bakery collection, I just had to give them a try and see if these "butter-enriched" buns with Sicilian lemon oil, mixed peel, and orange zest were really simply the zest.
What I liked: After being warmed up, they certainly smelled as fresh and delightful as the description hinted. I was pretty much smacked in the face with the zing of lemons in the air after opening the packet. The texture of the dough made for the perfect base for butter, or crème fraîche if you like to mix things up a bit.
What I didn't like: The drizzle glaze quickly made for sticky fingers, so this certainly isn't a breakfast option for your morning commute if you don't have access to hand gel, or better still, handwash and a sink. The lemon flavour was much more impactful on the top half of the bun, as opposed to the bottom, but it was still delicious.
