Hot Cross Bun and Butter pudding
Whilst we're rather partial to a toasted hot cross bun slathered with butter; we wanted to create a dessert for Easter. Mrs MeatSmokeFire is not a fan of bread and butter pudding but this has won her over. A delicious and really easy bake. Enjoy!

Method
- Set up your Big Green Egg for an indirect cook with the ConvEGGtor feet up and stainless steel grid on top. Set the temp to 170°C.
- Warm the cream and milk in a pan, over gentle heat. I use Tefal Ingenio stainless steel saucepans with a removable handle.
- Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Then gradually add to the warm cream mixture. Don't let the cream mixture get too hot otherwise, you'll end up with scrambled eggs.
- Halve the buns and spread them with butter and marmalade.
- Arrange in a shallow ovenproof dish.
- Pour a drizzle of Cointreau or your preferred tipple over the buns.
- Pour over the cream mixture. Press down the buns and set them aside to soak for 15 mins. Press the buns down into the custard mix as they soften.
- Pop in your Egg and cook for about 50 minutes until set. The pudding will start to pull away from the side of the pan when it's ready.
- Remove from the Egg and let it stand for about 10 minutes.
- Before serving, dust with icing sugar and serve warm (optional).
