Bun and Butter Custard

Fruit buns are yummy fresh and delicious toasted. But what do you do with the stale leftovers? Use them in a bread and butter custard. Just cut the buns in half, butter, spread with a little marmalade (trust me - it's great) and lay them in the bottom of a greased casserole dish. Then make a custard with eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla and pour over the top. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake in a bain marie (place the casserole in a baking dish of cold water that comes about a third of the way up the sides) in a moderate oven until the custard is set, 35 - 40 minutes should do it.
