Hot cross buns with nutty filling and vanilla-cinnamon syrup prove that the more buns you can consume over Easter, the better. These sticky, sweet, sinfully delicious buns are all you’ll need this season.
Ingredients
- Filling:
- 100g almonds, chopped
- 50g walnuts, chopped
- Syrup:
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- 200g brown sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 cloves
- 12 hot cross buns, halved and toasted
Instructions
1 For the filling, mix the nuts and set aside.
2 To make the syrup, gently heat all the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat and cook until syrupy. Set aside until needed.
3 Place half a toasted bun on each serving plate. Sprinkle with a little of the filling and drizzle with a little syrup. Place half a bun on top of this, adding more filling and more syrup. Finish with a third half-bun and a last drizzle of syrup.
