Easter Bread & Butter Pudding

Information

Prep: 10 mins | Cook time: 20-30 mins | Serves: 4-6

Ingredients list

• 4–6 hot cross buns (or brioche / white bread), sliced
• Butter, for spreading
• 6 eggs
• 1½ cups full cream milk
• ¾ cup thickened cream
• ½ cup caster sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup jam (raspberry or berry works best)
• 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen — raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
• Icing sugar, for dusting (optional)
  

Method

• Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Slice the hot cross buns in half (or into thick slices) and butter each piece.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar and vanilla until well combined.
• Pour the custard evenly over the buns, then dollop the jam between the layers and scatter over the fresh berries.
• Place in the oven and bake for 20–30 minutes, or until golden on top and just set in the centre.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Dust with icing sugar if desired and serve with extra fresh berries.
