SHOPPING LIST: Hot Cross Bun and Butter Pudding with Custard (4 portions)
Meal Plan Occasions 1, Easter dessert (serves 4)

[ ] 6 hot cross buns (slightly stale ones are best)
[ ] 40 g butter, softened
[ ] 3 eggs
[ ] 300 ml whole milk
[ ] 150 ml double cream
[ ] 50 g caster sugar
[ ] 1 tsp vanilla extract
[ ] 2 tbsp apricot jam, to glaze
[ ] 1 tbsp demerara sugar, for the top (optional)

Hot cross buns: they are cheapest and best once they are a day or two old, so buy them early. Chocolate or fruit varieties both work.
