Christmas Cake Buns
These delicious buttery spicy buns are a real quick fix for Christmas. They are a huge hit as a gift or just to have at home with a few friends for your elevens’s. I bake these all the time in December, for coffee mornings, teachers gifts, or just as a thank you to the many people who help me out throughout the year. They are made in minutes and remembered for months!
