How to Make Not Your Grandmother's Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 12 stale hot cross buns into ½-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the bun cubes with ¼ cup (57g) melted unsalted butter until evenly coated.
  4. Add ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (70g) raisins, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup (70g) Skor pieces, and ½ cup (60g) slivered almonds. Gently mix to combine.
  5. Lightly grease a 4-quart casserole dish. Transfer the bun mixture to the prepared dish and set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) milk and ¼ cup (60ml) liquid coffee creamer until fully incorporated.
  8. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bun cubes, gently pressing down to submerge them slightly.
  9. Place the casserole dish into a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about one-third of the way up the sides of the casserole dish (this creates a bain-marie for even baking).
  10. Bake for 90-100 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
