 Cook time:  35-40minutes

 

Ingredients

6 gluten-free hot cross buns
50g Sainsbury’s unsalted butter
3 medium egg yolks
3 medium whole eggs
50g caster sugar
1 lemon, finely grated zest
Half teaspoon of dried mixed spices
550ml whole milk
50ml dark rum or brandy
Icing sugar, sifted

 


Method

1.  Preheat the Oven to 180ºC. Prepare a bain-marie by placing a roasting pan half full of warm water into the oven.

2.  Using a 7cm round cutter, stamp out a round from the centre of each bun. Cut each bun horizontally into three and butter one side of each slice. Whisk together the remaining ingredients (except the icing sugar) for the custard.

3.  Place the base of each bun in a 200ml ramekin and pour over some custard. Top each of the six with a middle slice, some more custard and finally with the cross’s. Leave to soak for 20 minutes, topping up with custard.

4.  Bake in the bain-marie for 35 minutes, until puffed and golden. Dust with icing sugar serve with pouring cream if you like.
