Method

• Slice the hot cross buns in half and butter both sides of the top and bottom half, place all the buttered bottoms in an oven dish
• Mix the eggs, vanilla, sugar, milk and cream and pour half of the mixture over the bottoms of the buns
• Now place tops into the dish, pour on the remaining liquid mix
• If needed put a bit more butter onto the tops of the buns to prevent burning-
• Leave to soak for about ½ an hour
