There used to be a restaurant near me that was otherwise mediocre, but famous for its Rum Buns. I’d like to find a way to make those - if I recall they were sort of like Hot Cross buns, but full of rum.
Could this be them?

These hot cross buns look a bit more like mini baps than conventional buns, but they are sweet and buttery, with a little pop from the boozy, plump currants and a sweet crisscross of rum and orange liqueur-laced icing. Smear them with a little dark rum brown sugar butter.
The ones I remember are like chocolate balls with rum. I don’t think they’re baked though which is why they can be powerful when done correctly. Yum!!
