Instructions

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 4. Mix the berries with ½ tbsp honey. Cut a slit into one side of each hot cross bun to make a pocket and poke a quarter of the berries into each one. Mix the eggs, milk, vanilla, ½ tbsp honey and cinnamon together, then carefully soak each side of the hot cross bun in the mixture.
Melt the spread in a medium frying pan over a medium heat and fry the hot cross buns for a minute on each side until golden, then put them onto a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until piping hot in the middle. Serve with a dusting of icing sugar and cinnamon and a drizzle of the remaining honey.
