I read a delicious sounding recipe in today’s Feast section of The Guardian, Hot Cross Bun and Lemon Curd Pudding, basically Bread and Butter pudding for Easter. I didn’t have any lemon curd so made some so that later I could use up a couple of rather stale hot cross buns to make this scrumptious pud.
In between the hail showers today we have had bright sunshine so in one sunny spell we managed a short walk and I spotted a last bloom on a lovely Magnolia tree.
The pudding turned out well, very tasty and rather filling but we had had a minimal main course tonight! The recipe called for six buns and three eggs but I made it just for us with two buns and one egg, needed much less Lemon Curd (plenty left to have on toast!) and served it with ice-cream.

I now want to make some lemon curd. That pudding looks so good. My mama used to make bread pudding but I have never mastered it quite the way she did.

It’s quite easy as long as you are patient and let the egg mix thicken slowly – otherwise you get scrambled egg! All bread puddings are delicious. Actually, I don’t think I would make that recipe again as it was very, very sweet. I shall stick with the traditional bread and butter pudding in future. The leftover lemon curd is delicious on toast! 🙂

My great aunt Edie used to make lemon curd.
Mom too.
Your dessert sounds fab!
