Ingredients
- 8 Hot cross buns, stale, torn into chunks (about 8 cups)
- 1 cup Sultanas
Egg Mixture
- 4 Eggs
- 2 1/4 cups a2 Milk® Full Cream
- 3 tbsp Margarine
- 3/4 cup Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Mixed spice
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
For topping
- 2 tbsp Margarine (for pre-baking)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Margarine (for post-baking)
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 20cm x 30cm baking dish.
- Place eggs in a large bowl and whisk briefly. Add the a2 Milk® Full Cream, 3 tbsp melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, mixed spice, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the torn hot cross buns and sultanas to the egg mixture. Stir gently, then set aside for 5 minutes to allow the buns to soak up the custard.
- Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. If sultanas rise to the surface, push them below to prevent burning.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp melted butter over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden on top and set but still slightly wobbly in the centre.
- Remove from oven and brush with remaining 1 1/2 tbsp melted butter. Dust generously with icing sugar.
- Rest for 5 minutes, then serve with homemade custard using a2 Milk® or sauce of choice.
