- Grease four large ramekin dishes with a little butter. Place the first slice of hot cross bun on the base and sprinkle with sugar and orange zest. Repeat with the second slice and then add the top of the bun and sprinkle with just the sugar. Make sure you save some of the sugar and orange zest and repeat for the remaining three puddings.

- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes over an indirect heat, or until the top is golden. Serve with ice cream, or clotted cream.
- For variety try 4 tablespoons of marmalade instead of the orange zest and sugar.
