Dessert
Hot Cross Bun Bread and Butter Pudding
The comforting nostalgia of hot cross buns in a luscious bread and butter pudding, where soft, spiced buns soak up a creamy cinnamon custard. With each spoonful, experience the delightful melding of traditional Easter flavours in a decadent yet familiar dessert.
Method
- Slice the hot cross buns from top to bottom into 4 pieces each.
- Butter the hot cross buns on one side and arrange, butter side up, slightly overlapped in a baking dish.
- Whisk together the milk, double cream, caster sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon, and eggs.
- Pour the custard over the buns. Use a spoon to ladle the custard over the buns so everything is well covered. Grate over a little nutmeg.
- Leave to soak for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Serve with more cream.
