Not Your Grandmother's Bread Pudding

"I recently pruchased a dozen very large Hot Cross Buns on my way home from visiting my new grandson in Alberta, only to discover they were really stale (packaged in one of those "clam shells" as bakery departments are known to do). Unwilling to throw them out, I thought I should try making Bread pudding out of them. I'm going make it every Easter!"

  1. This was a wonderful success. I used fruitless hot cross buns plus 2 slices of raisin bread. Instead of the creamer which we don't get here I used brandy cream left from Xmas. Great breakfast !!
