Hot cross bun bread and butter pudding

This hot cross bun bread and butter pudding is easy to make and so delicious!

I always get excited at this time of the year when hot cross buns come into store. This hot cross bun bread and butter pudding is so delicious and will become a family favourite.

Ingredients needed:

This recipe is a great way to use up stale hot cross bun‘s if you ever have any left over. It also works well with fresh hot cross buns if you are buying them just make this delicious dessert.

You can make this recipe with traditional hot cross buns or you can also make it with chocolate hot cross buns, too yummy! If you want another Easter recipe idea try making my No-bake chocolate Easter egg slice

HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS DESSERT:

The recipe is super simple, first of all you cut the hot cross buns in to thick slices. Then generously spread each one wth butter. Arrange the slices side-by-side in a bowl and now it’s time to make the egg custard mixture.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla then pour it over the hot cross buns, too easy! I like to let the mixture soak into the hot cross buns before I put it into the oven.

Your kitchen will smell amazing while this delicious pudding is baking. Once it is golden and cooked through I like to dust over icing sugar and then serve warm with cream, ice cream or even custard. I’m sure your family will love this easy recipe as much as mine does.
