Everyone develops a major sweet tooth over the Easter weekend. And this scrumptious breakfast proves that.
Ingredients
Hot cross buns (as many as you need)
Enough butter for toasting
Ice cream of your choice
Directions
Slice your hot cross buns in half
Generously butter each side.
Heat up a pan over the stove on medium heat.
Toast your buns on either side until browned on each side.
Place the slices on a plate and scoop mounds of ice cream onto each bun.
Sandwich the other slice on top to close.
Tip: If you want to caramelise your buns more in the butter, add a sprinkle of sugar onto the buttered buns before toasting on a non-stick pan.
