Ingredients
Scale
- 6 hot cross buns, sliced in half vertically
- 50g butter (optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or sugar alternative)
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 400mL cream
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- Splash spiced rum (optional)
- Extra sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC. Prepare a rectangle or oval baking dish.
- If using, butter one side of each hot cross bun half and arrange in baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. Whisk in milk, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla paste and rum.
- Pour custard over the top of hot cross buns. Press down buns and let soak for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle buns with remaining sugar. Bake for 35 minutes until custard is set. Serve warm with ice cream or cream.
Notes
- Slightly stale hot cross buns work best for this recipe
- I used regular fruit hot cross buns, however brioche buns, or any of the flavour alternatives (e.g. chocolate, fruit free, apple and toffee etc.) would also work well
