Hot cross bun sticky toffee pudding

Created by Kat Scott Payne

Classic sticky toffee pud has been given a seasonal Easter twist with hot cross buns! It’s served with a delicious homemade toffee sauce and we like it with a scoop of ice cream but cream or custard would be yummy too.

Method

  1. Place the whole hot cross buns into a high sided baking tray and preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
  2. Heat the milk on the hob until steaming then turn off and add the dates. Let steep for 10-15 mins or until starting to soften. Once softened, blend with a hand blender until smooth.
  3. Pour this mix over the hot cross buns and let soak for 10 mins, then bake for 20 mins until starting to brown and all liquid is set.
  4. Meanwhile, make the toffee sauce. Add all the sauce ingredients, plus a pinch of salt, to a small pan and put over a low heat until the butter and sugar have melted, then turn up to a gentle boil and bubble for 5 mins to thicken.
  5. Pour half the toffee sauce onto the baked hot cross buns and pop back into the oven for 5 mins to soak in.
  6. Serve with the remaining toffee sauce and a scoop of ice cream.
