Lemony hot cross pudding
- Serves: 6
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 25 mins
A zesty take on a classic, our lemony hot cross pudding has just the right amount of sweetness, perfectly complimented by the sourness from the lemons.
Ingredients
- 5 medium British Lion eggs
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 4 tbsp lemon curd
- 4 tbsp caster sugar
- 150ml single cream
- 200ml milk
- 4 hot cross buns
- 2 tsp Demerara sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6. In a large jug, beat the eggs, lemon zest, lemon curd and sugar together until smooth. Add single cream and milk and mix well.
- Slice the hot cross buns vertically. Place all the end pieces over the base of a 1.2 ltr shallow ovenproof dish. Neatly arrange the other slices on top, then drizzle over the lemon juice.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sliced buns, then use a fork to lightly press the bread so that it soaks up the custard mix. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.
- Place the dish in a roasting tin, then pour boiling water from a kettle around the dish to come halfway up the outside. Scatter the Demerara sugar on top of the pudding then bake for 25 minutes or until set with a slight wobble and the top is golden.
- Remove from the roasting tin and serve warm with a little more cream poured over.
