Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Butter a 1-litre baking dish that will quite snugly fit your leftover buns. Cut each bun into 3 slices, and sandwich back together with a generous spreading of the lemon curd. Arrange the buns in your dish.

Step 2

Whisk together the eggs, double cream, milk and the remaining curd , then sieve into a jug with the vanilla and half the sugar. Pour the mixture over the buns and stand at room temperature for 30 mins for it to soak.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Scatter the remaining sugar and a pinch of lemon zest over the pudding, and bake for 30-40 mins until the top is golden and the custard gently set. Stand for 5 mins, then serve with vanilla ice cream for a perfect Easter dessert!
