Cinamon hot cross bun french toast.

We made a yummy treat fro our left over (slightly stale) hot cross buns. Hot cross bun cinnamon French toast. It was delicious, and Lily has been asking for more ever since. It was a hit with Daisy who tried to lick the plate.

 

The Recipe (Makes enough for 4)

 

Ingredients

2 Hot cross buns

2 Eggs

2 tsp. Cinnamon

2 tbsp. Sugar or Sweetener

A dash of Milk

Frylight (I love this stuff, stops things being too greasy)

Strawberries (To serve, but bananas are good too)

Ice-Cream (To serve)

 

Method

• Beat the eggs, cinnamon, milk and sugar in a large shallow bowl.
• Cut the hot cross buns in half and dip them into the egg mixture.
• Warm up the frying pan and spray with frylight.
• Fry the hot cross buns until golden
• Serve warm with the strawberries and ice-cream.



Give them a try, they were really good!

Any other tips for using up hot cross buns after Easter??

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter everyone.

 

 

 

We have made a yummy Easter cake. I used this recipe from Baking Mad. It was easy to make and tasted really yummy! Although we used normal buttercream, and not the cream cheese frosting (I forgot to buy cream cheese.... Oops!)

 

It was a good job it was only for us to eat because Daisy tried to put her head in the mixing bowl ha-ha!

 

Then I let the girls spread the frosting all over the top and sides (I neatened it up a bit!!), we sprinkled some Easter candies on the top, and stuck Easter bunny chocolates around the edges.

 

It was delicious and so much fun to make. My two tiny crafters are definitely turning into two tiny bakers!

 

 

What Easter treats has everyone else been making?

Easter Decorations.

 

It's a family tradition in my family to decorate for Easter, in particular to make an Easter tree, which is really twigs in a vase with little decorations hung on it. Simple but effective.
We had an amazing day last week going out to collect all the twigs from the park. All the flowers were in bloom, and the sun was shining. I really felt like Spring was here!
Then we had great fun decorating the Easter tree, and also making Easter paper chains, Easter baskets, bunnies and chick decorations. All the decorations are homemade and we add to our collection each year with more crafting fun.
We also like to get a new Easter book each year to add to the collection, the girls get so excited getting them out each year.
Do you have any Easter traditions?
