Ingredients

2 whole eggs
Half a cup of milk
½ tsp vanilla powder
½ tsp cinnamon
5 hot cross buns, halved
Unsalted butter, to fry
1 tsp maple syrup (save more, to serve)

Method

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, maple, vanilla and cinnamon. Place a frying pan on medium–high heat. Dunk hot cross buns into the mix and dredge through both sides.
Add a knob of butter to the pan and cook hot cross buns until golden brown in colour on each side, about 1–2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining crumpets.
