Ingredients

• 6 pieces Hot cross buns
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat spread or margarine
• 500 milliliters Skimmed milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 grams Caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Raisins or sultanas
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or a small amount of low-fat spread
• 1 teaspoon Icing sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Lightly grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish with cooking spray or a small amount of low-fat spread.

Step 2

Slice the hot cross buns in half horizontally and lightly spread each half with the low-fat spread or margarine.

Step 3

Arrange the bun halves in the greased dish, slightly overlapping them, and sprinkle the raisins or sultanas evenly between the layers.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the skimmed milk, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Carefully pour the milk mixture over the arranged hot cross buns, pressing down lightly with a fork to help the buns absorb the liquid. Let it sit for 10 minutes to fully soak.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Dust the pudding with a small amount of icing sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
