“One a penny, Two a penny, Hot Cross Buns!” Come learn how to make these famous British buns, forever remembered in a nursery rhyme but rarely tasted here in the US.

Hot cross buns are made of dough enriched with dairy, sugar, and eggs. They’re full of spices, dried fruits and citrus zest with a signature cross shape piped on the top. Traditionally served on Good Friday, also known as the Day of the Cross, these buns have quite an intriguing history.

Join us in learning all about the history and food science behind hot cross buns, get hands-on instruction using fresh stone-ground flour, and tour the mill to learn all about the grains!

Things to look forward to:

• Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh stone-milled flour

• Tour the mill with our Education Director

A little bit about your instructor:
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Texas at Austin, Jessica’s fascination with food science led her to further pursue her education in pastry school at FERRANDI in Paris, France. She spent her internship working in the Michelin starred pastry kitchen at the palace hotel Four Seasons George V in Paris, after which she received her diploma in French patisserie and bread baking in 2011. Working for over a decade in bakeries and pastry kitchens in central Texas, she is well-versed in both French and American pastry technique, has established her own organic cottage bakery called Sustainable Sweets, is passionate about using quality local organic ingredients, and loves teaching and sharing her pastry knowledge.
