Ingredients

250 g bread
½ pint milk
115 g mixed dried fruit
55 g suet or vegetarian alternative
1 ½ tbsp mixed spice
30 g soft brown sugar
1 egg whisked
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Grated nutmeg optional
Unsalted butter for greasing

Instructions

Break the hot cross buns into small pieces and add to a mixing bowl. Pour over the milk and soak for 30 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4.
Grease a 12×6" baking tin, or line with greaseproof paper.
Beat the hot cross bun and milk mixture together with a fork, then add the fruit, brown sugar, suet, beaten egg, and spice. Mix well to combine.
Pour into the prepared tin and spread evenly, making sure all of the corners are filled.
Grate nutmeg over the top, to taste.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour 10 minutes (or 1 hour 30 minutes if not making the crosses).
Once cooked (a knife will come out clean, when inserted into the pudding), sprinkle white granulated sugar over the top and leave to cool in the tin.
