Method
1. Preheat your waffle iron and set your oven to its lowest setting. Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Add the sugar and whisk together.
2. Cut the hot cross buns in half. Grease your waffle iron, if necessary. Dunk 2 halves in the eggy mix for 10 secs or so, turning them to coat. Carefully lift them into the waffle iron and close. Cook for about 5 mins till golden and crisp. The time it takes will depend on your waffle iron, so check them now and then and cook till they look ready. When they're ready, remove them from your waffle iron and place on a plate. Slide into the oven to keep warm while you dunk and cook the remaining hot cross bun waffles.
3. Repeat till you have used all the hot cross buns, adding each fresh batch to the oven to keep warm. Serve with your chosen toppings for the perfect Easter breakfast, treat or pud.

We love these hot cross bun waffles served with crispy streaky bacon, a handful of blueberries or sliced banana and a good drizzle of maple syrup. They're also delicious with a scoop of ice cream and fresh berries, or sliced banana and chocolate sauce.
