Ingredients

300 g hot cross buns
50 g butter
150 ml cream
150 ml milk
2 tsp vanilla extract - or tsp vanilla bean paste
2 eggs - medium/large
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp chocolate chips - optional
2 tsp icing sugar

Instructions

Cut the buns into chunks.
300 g hot cross buns
Melt the butter and then use a pastry brush to butter a deep baking dish, about 6" x 8" (reserve the rest of the butter for later) . Then arrange the pieces of bun in layers in the dish.
50 g butter
Mix the cream, milk, vanilla extract, eggs and sugar in a bowl. Whisk lightly with a fork to break up the eggs and combine the ingredients.
150 ml cream, 150 ml milk, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp sugar
Pour the custard mix on top of the layered hot cross buns, spreading it evenly over the dish.
Use the back of a spoon to lightly press the buns, encouraging the custard to soak in.
Scatter the chocolate chips over the top and drizzle the remaining melted butter overany of the bread that is not submerged in the custard mix.
Pop into the oven ( 180C / 170C fan / Gas 4 / 350F) and bake for 35 minutes. When the pudding is ready, it will be fluffy and golden, with the custard set. If not, return to the oven for a few more minutes.
2 tbsp chocolate chips
Allow your bread and butter pudding to cool a little before you serve. Dust it lightly with icing sugar for a final flourish.
2 tsp icing sugar
