Easter Bread & Butter Pudding – Makes 6
4 x Hot Cross Buns
2 tbsp. Butter – softened
2 Bananas – large & ripe
½ cup Chocolate Buttons (or cut up left over chocolate Easter eggs!)
1 ½ cup Milk
1 cup Cream
3 Eggs
1 tbsp. Brown Sugar
Ice-cream to Serve
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced). Line a 6-hole Texan muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Slice each bun vertically into 3 slices. Spread each slice with butter. Once done cut all of the pieces crossways to make triangles. You should have 6 triangles from each bun.
- Slice banana diagonally. Add one triangle piece of the hot cross bun into the bottom of each muffin case. Place a slice of banana on top of the hot cross bun then repeat. You should have 4 pieces of hot cross bun in each muffin case.
- Sprinkle the chocolate buttons between the muffin cases.
- Whisk egg, milk and cream together in a large jug. Pour egg mix evenly over the buns.
- Press the top piece of bun into the egg mix and allow to rest for 10 minutes to ensure buns soak up egg mixture.
- Top up each with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle each with brown sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until puds are set and golden on top.
- Serve with icecream.
