Method

  • 1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs, milk and caster sugar lightly to combine.

  • 2. In a large non-stick frying pan, melt butter on medium. Dip hot cross buns into egg mixture to soak through on both sides. Pan-fry in butter for 1-2 minutes each side until golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining buns.

  • 3. For the topping, in a large non-stick frying pan, heat maple syrup, butter and ground cinnamon on high until melted. Bring to the boil, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add bananas and pears to pan, tossing gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes until just soft.

  • 4. Remove from heat. Top buns with caramelised fruit. Serve with yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes.

  • Tip: This is a great way of using up leftover or stale hot cross buns.
