This is another great way to use Hot Cross Buns. It’s really just a fancy Bread and Butter Pudding, but I like this recipe because it combines Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns – all the Easter treats at once!!

CHOCOLATE & CUSTARD TORTE
With Easter so close and Hot Cross Buns everywhere it seems like a great time to share a couple of Hot Cross Bun recipes. My son in law loves Hot Cross Buns so I made this dessert for him to try last weekend. The Hot Cross Bun & chocolate base was great, but we all agreed that the topping needed a bit more custard and less cream. It’s well worth trying though.
FISH PIE
The combination of fish, spinach, mustard and mashed potato make this recipe look really good. I don’t think Mum ever made it, but I’m sure she meant to one day…..
BANANA PUDDING
I think the comments that go with this recipe that Mum cut out of the newspaper make it sound somewhat unusual “economical, keeps for ages and can be made as a cake”. Worth a try maybe?
SWEET POTATO WITH SOUR CREAM AND BACON
I almost missed this gem which was on a Herald Sun newspaper page. Mum stuck mostly to the old style potatoes, which in her day were just potatoes and only came washed or unwashed, big or small. Nothing like today’s variety. I think this recipe looks good, a great way to jazz up sweet potato.
CHICKEN BAKED IN BARBECUE SAUCE
Chicken wings, drumsticks or thighs work really well in this recipe. The sauce has a great tangy flavour and you can serve it as a family meal or a party dish.
CHEESE YUMMIES
By the look of this cutting Mum cut it out of a magazine quite a while ago. I don’t remember her making them, but they look great and are something a little bit different to serve with drinks. I usually make little cheese biscuits or pita bread crisps, but I think these look good and I’m going to try them next time.
MONKEY FACES
These are more of a biscuit than a little cake, but they are another one of Mum’s afternoon tea and supper treats.
MUSHROOM CAKES
These were another of Mum’s afternoon tea and supper delights. They always seemed to me to be a little more fancy that my birthday butterfly cakes. I haven’t made them or eaten them in a long time, but they were great back when I was little.
BUTTERFLY CAKES
I always associate these little cakes with my birthday parties. They were a treat Mum would make to put on the party table and I guess after two sons she was more than happy to make something ‘girlie’ for my birthday. She did make them at other times for afternoon tea with her friends and for suppers, but I still think of them as my birthday butterflies.
