I found this recipe and think it sounds divine. I think one could probably just make a bread and butter pudding the normal way but use Hot Cross Buns in the place of the white bread. This is a nice variation though. Let me know if you try it this Easter.
Hot Cross Bun Butter pudding
Serves 6-8
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Slice 6 hot cross buns into thick slices. Butter one side of each slice.
3. Lightly grease an ovenproof dish and arrange the slices in the base in overlapping rows.
4. Scatter 50ml of currents.
5. Poor 150ml Nestle Milk and 150ml Nestle dessert cream in a saucepan and add 50ml sugar, 10ml ground cinnamon, 5ml ground nutmeg and 3 large eggs.
6. Place the dish in a roasting tray and half fill the tray with boiling water.
7. Pour the milk mixture over the buns and bake until the custard has set, about 30-40 minutes.
8. Serve with Greek style thick yoghurt.

just picked u[ a Jamie recipe from sainsburys very similar putting marmalade on the buns and then proper vanilla custard a sprikle of demerara sugar and bake. I will try this one definatately but I dont know if we get ideal milk. we must do surely yum
Is ideal milk the same thing as evapourated milk, in a can?
Is dessert cream the same thing as whipping cream, or half and half?
It sounds delicious, I want to make that this Easter…
hi Mari, yes Ideal milk and evaporated milk are the same. Use normal cream that you whip for the dessert cream. We don’t get half and half in SA and I am actually not really sure what it is! Good luck with the pudding and let me know how it turns out xxx
