Hot Cross Bun Bread and Butter Pudding

I usually buy a few packs of hot cross buns every Easter and though I usually enjoy them, I only ever eat one and then since the kids aren't fans, the rest gets put into the freezer for future baking. My favourite use for hot cross bun leftovers are in a bread and butter pudding. The spice and fruitiness of the buns go very well with warm custard and in this incarnation, even the kids enjoyed it!
