  Couldn't wait to try this recipe as it sounded delicious! What a disaster and disappointment it was in reality. It was like eating spicy bun with a lemon flavoured lighty scrambled egg. Ugh!!!

  A really nice take on bread and butter pudding, used up the last of my cranberry & apple hot cross buns and the other half loved it too :) would recommend if you're bored of bog standard bread and butter puddings as the hint of lemon curd is a lovely addition.

  originally, I made hot-cross buns and found they were slightly heavy. This maybe due to the proving and kneading time. however, they did prove successful in making nigel Slaters bread and butter hot cross pud!

  Really really tasty dessert. We didn't add the lemon curd into the custard but used very lemony home made hairy bikers lemon curd in the buns. AMAZING!!! Will definitely be doing it again. Easy to double to feed a crowd. Would highly recommend to a friend. Now part of the Easter family traditions.

  I made this yesterday and, although it was tasty, I was very disappointed with the split custard looking like scrambled eggs, which must have been due to the addition of lemon curd. If I make it again I shall only use the lemon curd for sandwiching the hot cross buns.

  Very successful. Adjusted the recipe for 6 buns adding an extra egg and increasing the cream & milk to 300 g's but reduced thhe lemon curd to 110 g's but added lemoncello to the middle layer of each bun before pooring over the custard mix. Fantastic. Definately no scrambleed egg issues as gently warmed the milk, sugar and vinila esence before slowly adding to the whisked eggs stirring continuously. After pooring over the buns and leaving to soak in, put dish in a pan of water and then into oven to ensure even bake.

  Very nice, only used a quarter of the curd inside the buns, none in the custard.left theme to soak for longer and forked the buns to soak up all the liquid.like bread n butter pud and egg custard in one.man has requested again !!

  Absolutely delicious, went down a treat with the family. I didn't have any lemon curd so I substituted black cherry pie filling.

  AMAZING!! I didn't have a square dish so popped 2 extra buns in to my rectangular one and did 1.5 times the recipe,and it worked perfectly! I decided to put lemon curd on just one layer of the buns and butter on the other so it wasn't a bit 'too' lemony, and it created the perfect flavour. I'd definitely recomend this to anyone - it's the perfect way to create the flavours of a 'real' Bread & Butter pudding but in a far easier way!

  We thought this was rather nice - but sickly and very sweet (even though I only used half the sugar and half the lemon curd!) Will probably try it again, but try and tweak it to be less sweet!! Did like the lemon, but definitely don't need sugar on top as hot cross buns already glazed...

  I made this on Sunday OMG it was amazing! I dont like bread and butter pudding, & cant say i really like hot cross buns but thought i would make it for my parents. I liked the look and smell of it so had some, and then went back for seconds! I think the 'tesco finest' lemon curd made it that little bit nicer. everyone loved it. I will deffinately be making this again!!
