I want to make marmalade hot cross bun pudding.

Just looked for a recipe and they all use cream. I'm sure I've made bread and butter pudding before with just eggs...

I use milk instead of cream. [busmile]

Just make a custard and use that. Sugar, eggs and milk.

Nope. Not too late. Do you cook straight away or leave to chill before cooking?
