Bread and Butter Hot Cross Bun Pudding
Description
This pudding recipe starts by slicing hot cross buns into three parts and spreading each piece with butter before layering them in a baking dish. A mixture made from milk powder, sugar, vanilla, boiling water, and eggs is whisked until frothy and poured over the bun layers. Baking the dish in a water bath at 190°C for 30 minutes gently cooks the pudding to a creamy consistency while preserving the bun's texture in layers. The use of hot cross buns imparts spices and dried fruit flavors traditionally associated with the buns, now softened in custard. Once baked, the pudding is served warm, and can be accompanied with ice cream for added richness.
This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for a few days and reheated or eaten cold, though it is best enjoyed soon after cooking.
