I'm visiting a friend in the UK and she has made some hot cross buns. I would like to bring some back for my husband, is this allowed?

Recipe attached. There is a small amount of crystallised ginger as well as raisins.

Thank you. I wasn't sure what the buns came under on the Spanish website but guess baked/cooked goods which are allowed.

Maybe be careful they do not have crosses on them as that now seems to cause offense

I will flatly refuse to buy any Bun that does not have a cross on it.  These woke weirdos should be shot.  Same goes for the cross on the football shirts.

I have decided not to bring any as there are none left from the bake!
