Ingredients

2 eggs

50ml semi-skimmed milk

30g caster sugar

2 Asda Extra Special Extra Fruity Hot Cross Buns

1tsp Vegetable Oil

30g Caster Sugar, for the cinnamon sugar

½tsp Ground Cinnamon, plus extra to serve

75g Asda 50% Less Fat Crème Fraîche, to serve

100g Berries, to serve

Method

1
Put the eggs, milk, sugar and a pinch of salt into a bowl and whisk until everything is combined. Cut the hot cross buns into 4 slices vertically.
2
Add the oil into a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Dunk each hot cross bun slice into the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side until it’s saturated but still holding its shape. Tap off any excess and place into the hot oil, then continue with all pieces.
3
Fry for 2–3 mins on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
4
For the cinnamon sugar, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Once the toast pieces have been cooked and are still warm, toss in the sugar mix.
5
Eat warm and serve with crème fraîche, a sprinkling of cinnamon and berries if you like.
