It's made with a combination of milk, butter, white flour, rye flour, sea salt, yeast, ljus sirap (light syrup), and hjorthornssalt.

Traditionally prepared and eaten on Good Friday and during Lent, hot cross buns are subtly sweet spiced buns made with a rich yeast dough that is studded with dry fruit. The top of each bun is marked with a cross, typically made with shortcrust pastry, a mixture of flour and water, or icing sugar. Although theories abound, the exact origin of hot cross buns is shrouded in mystery. They are sometimes associated with Romans and Saxons, who made similar cross-marked buns to commemorate Eostre&mdash;the goddess of light. However, they are mostly linked to Christian folklore. Apart from the cross symbolizing crucifixion, it is often said that the hefty use of spices signifies the ingredients used to embalm Christ after his death. What is certain is that the buns already enjoyed immense popularity by the 16th century, when Queen Elizabeth I restricted their sale solely to Christmas, Easter, and Good Friday as it was believed that the buns had healing properties. The restriction had little effect and was soon revoked. Nowadays, hot cross buns are world-famous and enjoyed all year round. The traditional version is dotted with currants and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, but it is easily modified and adjusted to taste. The buns can be enjoyed as a sweet or savory treat. They can be served plain or toasted, with butter, jam, or any other optional topping.

Mandarin roll is a steamed bun with Chinese origins, consisting of wheat flour, sugar, water, vegetable oil, yeast, and salt. It is such an important part of Chinese cuisine that it is likened to white bread in western cuisine. Steamed Mandarin rolls are sometimes accompanied by sweetened condensed milk, while in the southern parts of the country the rolls are often sweet and can be eaten on their own. Sometimes, the rolls are salted and filled with finely chopped spring onions on the interior. What makes these rolls unique is their unusual shape, reminiscent of flower blossoms, which is the reason for their alternative name - flower rolls.
