Hot Cross Bun Bread & Butter Pudding

Ingredients

8 locally made hot cross buns
300ml Gundenham local whole milk
120ml Gundenham local double cream
30g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing.
10g orange marmalade (or any preserves you have)
80g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 large Black Dog eggs
50g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Prepare the baking dish. Preheat the oven to 170C/340F. Grease the sides and base of a high sided baking pan with butter.
Cut the buns in half and slather them in marmalade or your chosen preserve. Using a serrated knife, slice each of the hot cross buns in half. Using a butter knife, spread marmalade across both sides of the cut halves of each hot cross bun.
Sandwich the buns with chocolate. Over the marmalade on the bottom half of the hot cross bun, sprinkle lots of chopped chocolate. Place the top half sandwiching the chocolate in the two halves. Repeat until all the buns have chocolate inside them.
Add the buns to baking dish. Place the filled buns into the prepared baking dish, flat down if they fit or standing, leaning on each other. With any remaining marmalade, brush the tops of the buns with it. Then sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate around the dish.
Make the custard. Add all the custard ingredients (eggs, sugar, milk, cream and vanilla extract) to a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
Soak the chocolate orange hot cross buns and bake. Pour the custard all over the hotcross buns into the baking dish. Push down each of the buns gently. Leave for ten minutes for the buns to soak up some of the custard. Add any remaining butter in small lumps over the pudding.
Bake. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the buns are browned and the custard has just set. If the buns brown too quickly, then halfway through the bake time, cover the baking dish in a foil tent.
Remove the dish from the oven and set aside for ten minutes, then serve the pudding warm, with a drizzle of double cream.
