Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Serves: 12
Pudding a little love in every bite
Ingredients
300g Hot Cross Buns, split horizontally
50g Butter
350ml Custard using Snowflake Custard Powder
2 tablespoons Icing Sugar
2 tablespoons Chocolate Chips (optional)
A sprinkle of Manhattan Speckled Eggs (optional)
Method
- 1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan
- 2. Melt butter and then use a pastry brush to butter a baking dish, about 20 x 15cm (reserve the rest of the butter for later). Then arrange the buns in layers in the dish.
- 3. Pour the Snowflake 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 so that the custard can soak in.
- 4. Scatter the chocolate chips over the top and drizzle the remaining melted butter over any of the buns that are not submerged in the custard mix.
- 5. Pop in the oven 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.
- 6. If you want to add speckled eggs then sprinkle them on top just before the 35 minutes is up so that they can melt.
- 7. Allow the pudding to cool before you serve it and dust lightly with icing sugar.
