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

1. Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced). Line a 6-hole Texan muffin tin with muffin cases.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Sprinkle the chocolate buttons between the muffin cases.
5. Whisk egg, milk and cream together in a large jug. Pour egg mix evenly over the buns.
6. Press the top piece of bun into the egg mix and allow to rest for 10 minutes to ensure buns soak up egg mixture.
7. Top up each with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle each with brown sugar.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until puds are set and golden on top.
9. Serve with icecream.
