Overview
Bringing more than a little adventurous spirit to all things cakes and pastries, much-loved bakery Black Star Pastry is up to its usual tricks again for Easter. More evolution than revolution this time around, they're replacing the traditional raisins and currents in hot cross buns with juicy dried blueberries.
Combined with the signature spiced dough Black Star Pastry is known and loved for, this sweet and tangy burst brings a whole new element to this treasured holiday treat. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or toasted with a spread of salted butter, it promises to elevate your Easter experience.
Delving a little deeper into what makes this Easter creation extra special, these blueberry hot cross buns are crafted using 100% natural ingredients. Plus, a touch of lemon zest will increase the depth of flavour and create an even more fragrant, irresistible experience that makes this treat one to remember.
Yet there's still one more detail that sets this beloved sweet aside from your usual hot cross bun. Each bun is topped with a crunchy biscuit crumb topping made with dairy-free butter, flour and blueberry puree, adding just the right amount of sweetness. Shaped like the traditional cross, the purple flair gives this timeless favourite a modern appeal.
"Our new blueberry hot cross bun is all about bringing a fresh twist to an iconic favourite," says Black Star Pastry Executive Chef, Arnaud Vodounou. "The blend of sweet blueberries and our signature spiced dough is sure to surprise and delight our fans. We can't wait to share it with the community and make this Easter even sweeter."
Available online and in-store until Monday, April 21, you're welcome to grab a single blueberry hot cross bun or stock up with a box of six or 12, depending on how many you anticipate wolfing down over the long weekend. You should also take note that Black Star Pastry is bringing back their classic frankincense glazed hot cross buns and chocolate hot cross buns for a limited run over Easter.
Black Star Pastry's blueberry hot cross bun is available until Monday, April 21 at Sydney CBD, Rosebery, Newtown, Chatswood, Parramatta and Burwood locations. Head to the website for more information.
