5Heat a waffle iron to the hottest setting.

Beat he eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla together until well combined. Soak each hot cross bun half for about 30 seconds – flipping over a couple of times to ensure both sides absorb the egg / milk mixture *ensure the dish is deep enough so that the bun s can be largely submerged. The last couple will be less so.

Butter the waffle iron light (or use a non stick cooking spray) and place the buns in the middle. Close the lid and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and fluffed up.

Serve immediately with syrup, cream, ice cream or fresh fruit.
