If you are looking for a delicious dessert to serve this Easter, you should try this easy Hot Cross Bun Pudding.

Ingredients:

16 - 20 Hot cross buns

 2 - 3 cups milk

4 eggs

pinch of salt

You can also add sugar, spices, and vanilla extract to taste.

Tear up the Hot cross buns and place them in a large oven-proof dish.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then mix in the milk and a pinch of salt. 

Pour the mixture over the hot cross buns. Use a fork to gently press down on the buns, completely submerging them in the liquid. Add more milk if required.

I prefer to leave this overnight in the fridge, but if you don't have time, that's ok!

Preheat your oven to 325°F/160 C. Cover with foil greased with melted butter. Bake for around an hour, then remove foil and bake uncovered for approximately 15-30 minutes. It is ready when a knife inserted comes out clean. The pudding will be puffy when you take it out of the oven, but it will deflate. 

Serve warm with whipped cream, custard, or even better vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
