Jane has written in with this delicious take on a bread and butter pudding:

“At the mention of hot cross buns the other week, below is a recipe for Hot cross bun pudding-

4 hot cross buns, each cut across horizontally to make 3 slices, low fat spread, grated lemon rind, 1/2tsp. ground cinnamon, 2 eggs, 3/4pint of milk and some demerara sugar. Reserve the top slices of bun, spread the other slices with low fat spread and then cut them in half.  Arrange the slices spread side up in a round deep 11/2 pint ovenproof dish.Sprinkle with the lemon rind and cinnamon and finish with the 4 bun tops. Beat the eggs with the milk and strain the mixture over the buns. Sprinkle some demerara sugar on top.  Bake at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 40 mins. or until the top is crisp and golden and the pudding is risen and set. Enjoy!”
