Over the centuries, every culture has created its own delicious sweet treats that are meant to be enjoyed at special occasions. What better way to mark the end of a dreary winter and sparse fare than by baking up cakes and breads rich with cheese, almonds, candied citrus peel, cinnamon and saffron.
Hot Cross Buns are a British specialty chock full of raisins and candied citrus peel, and decorated with a cross of sweet white icing meant to ward off evil.
In Greece, Koulourakia are crisp, honey-sweetened cookies. They require little effort and time, and are ready to be dunked into your cup of coffee before you know it.
Panettone is a buttery and lightly sweetened Italian bread. With its cake-like texture, it’s perfect for breakfast or dessert.
