Want buns? We've got some. Check out our sweet stash right here. 

If you need a little more hot cross action to cover your weekend plan, we've rounded up a few of our favourites on Instagram perfect for the long weekend.

1. Deep fry 'em!

Late night snack, anyone?

2. Treat your pal

Everyone can have a piece of the action (just remember there are some ingredients pets shouldn't eat - chocolate is a no-no for dogs, and maybe for cats, too)

3. Stacks on

Sweet and savoury wins again. This makes so much sense.

4. Put the kettle on

A cup of tea really does fix everything... right?

5. Long weekend brunchin'

Because French toast is always a great way to start your day.

6. A savoury take

This Chicken tikka cross bun idea comes from our colleagues at SBS Hindi.

7. Sweet smells

If you love to bake then double the waft potential. If you're not a baker, then fake it till you make it.

8. Trade your average toast

Half 'em and top them with your favourite toast toppings.

9. On a roll... or a bagel

Bagels are already so hot right now. Spread some extra schmear on while you're at it.

10. Get in the festive spirit

A liquid hot cross bun, no blender required.
