A ta-dah post for Pickle-Lily's latest mini make  - the Christmas Pudding decoration. In the mini make kit there is felt, ribbon, a button and some seriously glittery felt all cut ready for you to sew into a sparkly Christmas pudding to hang on your tree.

Hot X Pudding and the continued quest to fill a teenage son!



Hot X Pudding

 A very simple recipe using stale hot cross buns was created last week., in my ongoing quest to fill the tummy of my teenage son! Why hadn't he already eaten them? To be honest, I think they were put away in the bread bin and he simply hadn't looked there when they were fresh!

You need
hot cross buns - I think the pudding in the photo used four
butter or sunflower spread to spread them with
350ml milk
50g caster sugar
3 eggs
grated nutmeg

To make

• Pre-heat your oven to 160C fan or 180C not fan.
• Grease a large (2 pint / 1 litre) baking dish.
• Butter the split buns and I then cut them into quarters.
• Arrange all over the dish.
• In a large jug mix the milk, caster sugar and then whisk the eggs in,
• Pour over you mix, and just lightly push the buns into the mix.
• Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake for about 35 minutes.
• Enjoy!
