The buns are being baked by Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Ersinan, shown above ready to put a few dozen in the oven, The Hot Cross Buns were first introduced in 1250 A.D. —T -A Photo Hot Cross Buns Ward Off Evil Spirits There's an old Welsh prayer that goes: "From the ghoulies and the ghosties, and the long- legged beasties, and things that go Boop in the night — Oh, Lord, deliver us!" History tells us that the original Hot Cross Buns were marked with crosses to ward off these evil spirits and to prevent Illness. Ersnian's Bakery have been baking Hot Cross buns since Ash Wednesday, the traditional start- ing point for their sale. For the weekend coming up they have orders for 458 dozen buns, sone to be delivered on Thursday and the rest on Saturday. The project of obtaining the orders and de- livering them is undertaken by Exeter Girl Guides and Brownies. Last year orders were taken for 450 dozen to be delivered Thursday before Good Friday. It was an almost impossible task for the bakeshop , to bake so many for one time so this year the delivery is divided for two different days. Hot Cross buns of the Christian era first appeared around 1250 A.D. when they were sold to Easter Sunday communicants as they left the church.

Seventeenth century Englishmen used to hear Hot Cross buns hawked through the streets of London to the old jingle, "One a penny buns, two a penny buns, one a penny two a penny Hot Cross buns." The buns today are much the same as they were in 1250, yeast - raised, touched with spices and raisins or currants and iced with a pure white cross in a sweet frosting. Ersman's add cinnamon and mace for spices and. raisins to the yeast batter, A batch makes 60 dozen buns usually , using two dozen to a pan. When asked about proportions for a recipe for home baking, Mrs. Ersman said "1 wouldn't know how to ret it down to such a small amount." Some recipes ,add molasses to the batter which darkens it but Mr. Ersman does not use it. The dough is slower to rise than ordinary bun dough possibly because of the spices. It takes two or two and a half hours to rise ready for the oven, depend- ing on. the weather. They rise faster in warm weather. Twenty or thiry minutes' baking time is reauired. Some bakers put the cross on the top by means of a sweet ic- ing using icing sugar and water, sometimes making a slit in the bun and sometimes not, Ers- man's use a streusel icing made of shortening, flour and water which is put on before baking by means of pastry tube drawn up through the centres of the pan of buns and then crosswise through the centres. After baking the buns are glazed. with either brown sugar, honey or corn syrup mixed with water, Marjorie Dilkes YOUR HAIRDRESSER Permanent Waving Hair Styling and Shaping Tinting and Cold Waving Phone 146 'Y GO BY' Beauty Bar Mary Lou McCoy, Manager Hair Treatments, Tinting Individual Styling, Permanents 409 MAIN $T.
