It’s hard to imagine having your fill of warm, buttered hot cross buns but if you do have leftovers here’s how to use them up.
- Spiced treacle tart: Whizz leftover buns to crumbs and use them to spice up the filling for a treacle tart.
- Brown Betty: Melt some butter in a pan, add the hot cross bun crumbs and cook to brown them, stirring so they don’t burn. Scatter over apples tossed with lemon zest and juice, demerera sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then pop in the oven to make a brown betty.
- Turn them into a quick and easy pudding by serving with caramelised pears and ice cream.
- Pop toasted hot cross buns halves under the grill with cheese and crispy bacon to make these tasty Easter toasties.
- Tear up chunks and stir through Paul A Young’s hot cross bun brownies.
