Let us share with you our top 10 Easter recipes as Easter is a time for family to come together to celebrate life and love. It is important to spend time together and what better way to do so than over a delicious meal or with a home-baked gift. When I think of Easter I instantly think of hot cross buns, be it homemade or quality store-bought. You can’t go past those by our friend Leticia of Ashby Sourdough, available at the Yamba Farmers Market. I also think of seafood dishes and roast lamb. Of course, chocolate is popular at Easter too!
Here is a list of 10 Easter recipes we think are perfect for the occasion. Happy Easter!
1. Hot cross buns – I can’t wait to make my annual batch of these.
2. Chocolate brownies … a decadent chocolate treat to share with loved ones, and a homemade gift is so special.
3. Bread and butter pudding … a great way to use up leftover hot cross buns.
