Method

Preheat oven to 170˚C. 
Place rack on lower third of the oven. 

Brush a ± 32cm x 22cm ovenproof baking dish with a little softened butter.

Slice hot cross buns in half.

Place the bottom half of the buns in the baking dish.

Spread each sliced bun with butter. 
Sprinkle a generous layer of Natural Herbs & Spices Ground Cinnamon over the buns. 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, sugar, honey and vanilla. 
Season with a little Natural Herbs & Spices Salt and a generous shake of ground cinnamon. 

Pour half of the mixture over the buns. 

Top with the other hot cross bun halves and finish with the remaining custard. 

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the custard is set and the buns are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. 

Serve with a little drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired and enjoy!
