Marmalade Hot Cross Bread & Butter Pudding

Recipe By: Kelly Bates

Catergory: Puddings & Desserts

Season: Spring

A spin on a British classic and a good way to use up hot cross buns that are nearing best-by date, or like I did, bake your hot cross buns on the BBQ too (I used Phil Yeomans’ recipe, link below). You could also add chocolate chips or mini chocolate eggs for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

6 hot cross buns 
25g butter
4 tbsp marmalade (and another tbsp for glazing at the end)
2 large eggs
250ml milk
1 tbsp caster sugar

Method

1. Set BBQ up for indirect cooking at 170°C.

2. Slice the hot cross buns in half. Butter the top sides and spread marmalade on bottom sides. Sandwich back together and place into a baking dish.

3. Beat egg, milk and sugar together in a jug and pour over the buns.

4. Place in BBQ on indirect heat and cook for 25–30 minutes or until just set.

5. Remove from the BBQ and brush with additional marmalade to create a glaze.

6. Serve immediately as they are or with a dollop of ice cream on the side.

I’m bringing a little bit of Greece into your gardens this summer with this delicious beef hot pot, which will feed a crowd. Stifado is traditional Greek Stew made with beef, onions and tomatoes.

One of our favourite things to grill is a whole chicken and spatchcocking is the easiest way to achieve an even cook. We nibble on the wings while cooking and use any leftovers for tasty lunches. In this recipe we used beech wood to not overpower the delicate meat.

Smoked Chicken & Grilled Corn Wraps with a Pea, Mint & Jalapeño Dressing

Smoky chorizo, sweet peppers, and creamy butter beans slow-cooked together in the grill, soaking up rich, smoked flavour as the sauce thickens. A splash of balsamic and fresh parsley finish this hearty, low-effort one-pot dish.

Jawaneh Meshwé – Chicken Wings with Garlic, Coriander, Lemon & Chilli

Whole trout marinated in nori, rosemary, and blood orange, then plank-smoked over the fire for a delicate, woodsy flavour. Served with a zesty crayfish tartar and a crisp new potato and green salad for a light, elegant meal for four.

Herby Lamb Chops with Warm Bean Tomato Salad

A flavour-packed burger built from a whole beer-can chicken, slow-cooked under the Kadai Lid and basted with rich gochujang butter. Served with a crunchy Asian slaw and gochujang mayo, all layered into toasted brioche buns for a burger that’s smoky, spicy and impossible to put down.

Thai Pork Meatballs with Sweet & Spicy Dipping Sauce

When it comes to veg on the grill, I think aubergines are hands-down my favourite. When people tell me they don’t like aubs, I fear they have either had them undercooked (a grim, chewy texture) or under-seasoned so they are bland. Here, they are neither. and this simple warm salad ticks all my boxes – salty, creamy, crunchy, sweet, sharp.

Grilled Aubergine with Whipped Goat’s Cheese Orange Zest & Pumpkin Seeds

The rösti is the star in this recipe show. The crispy potato combined with fish and peas gives posh fish and chip vibes but the rösti would also make a delicious brunch with ham and a fried egg.

Venison Casserole

Something a little different – a fruity focaccia with dried cranberries plumped up with sherry. It’s a bit like a light fruit cake or bread and butter pudding without the egg mixture. Topped with honey and nuts adds a little sweetness and bursts of fruit as you bite into a slice. It’s moist enough to eat on its own or serve with crème fraiche, custard or ice cream.

Boozy, Fruity Cranberry & Apple Focaccia

Bread sauce is a must on our Christmas table, and this recipe takes it to the next level. It works well for a pre-meal dip or save it for the main event. This makes 1 litre of sauce; it can be scaled down if needed, but we love bread sauce, clearly!

There is so much flavour in lamb neck, which is why this cut is often used in the traditional Welsh stew – cawl. It takes time and patience for this neglected cut to reach its potential but it’s well worth it. In our recipe, the beans and oil add a touch of refinement against this rustic stew.

Lamb Neck Stew with Pureed Beans & Parsley Oil

It’s great to cook this on your smoker or BBQ, even in the embers of a log fire as it picks up the gentle aroma of woodsmoke. It looks a little lengthy, but it’s really pretty quick and easy to make. Plus, a big pot of this will go a long way and accompany any smoked meats perfectly. Feel free to add some bacon at the start!

I went to Kansas City for the 2014 American Royal BBQ Competition and was lucky enough to be invited to the opening party to hang out with barbecue royalty. Things got blurry quite quickly and I put that solely down to the delicious, tangy, smoky-sweet, bourbon-laced, grilled lemonade they were serving up by the gallon.

Grilled Lemonade

The Caipirinha is a refreshing Brazilian cocktail that is perfect for a warm evening, made from only three ingredients, so as we were cooking food churrasco style we thought it would be a shame not to give this traditional drink a Worlds Pantry BBQ twist.

Grilled Caipirinha

Originating in southern Brazil, churrasco is a means of cooking just about any meat on a long swordlike skewer placed above an open pit or simple grill. We chose to season the churrasco meat using chimichurri.

Chicken Wrapped in Bacon and Sage leaves

I know lemon isn’t a traditional Eton Mess ingredient, but Eton Mess is only as traditional as a deconstructed (dropped) Australian Pavlova anyway, right? And, as we don’t like to waste ingredients here at BBQ magazine, it made sense to use up the leftover egg yolks from the meringue and make a lemon curd.

Zesty Eton Mess

Rum, pineapple, lime, ginger and caramel – probably one of the best flavour combinations undoubtedly created by pirates. Add the smoky complexity of charcoal and you’ve got a stunning pudding with theatre.

This recipe is one of my go-to quick snacks on a day off, but this would also be perfect for a fireside treat on a cool night. In the time it takes for the coals to hit the sweet spot, all the preparation for this cook will be ready to go. It’s so quick and simple, but completely delicious.

Sweet & Smoky Chipotle and Maple Hotdogs

Using canned potatoes is a fantastic hack when you’re short of time or out and about. They’re flavour sponges and melt into the sauce – use them with pride!

Massaman Curry

Think of picada as a Spanish pesto. Essentially finely chopped or pulverised nuts with olive oil, herbs and garlic used to brighten and jazz up other perhaps bland dishes, particularly in austere times. The texture of the two are similar but they taste very different.

Grilled Carrots with Picada

Well, for me, the humble sprout has gone a full 180° and now sits near the top of the charts in favourite veg. We all know that bacon makes pretty much everything taste better and this dish is no exception, but the real heroes are the lovely little charred, al dente sprouts that really come into their own.

Sprouts with Pancetta

Here’s a twist on the standard fatty recipe, which makes a great side dish for chicken or Christmas turkey, using sage and onion stuffing with chipolatas as the filling, all wrapped with a delicious bacon weave.

Baking in your BBQ – as long as you’ve got a lid – is relatively easy and a great way to use that residual heat. I usually bake indirect and put an upturned baking tin on top of my grills to prevent the base from burning. It acts as a deflector from the heat underneath.

Some say this pizza was invented as a breakfast pizza in the city of Florence, and I like that idea. Eggs for breakfast – good. Pizza for breakfast – good. 

Pizza Classico Fiorentina

Pizza bianca just means ‘white pizza’. There are tons of versions, but the main thing is that none of them are topped with tomato sauce. These are my favourite kind of pizzas, as they really allow the rest of the ingredients to show themselves off.

Al Pastor Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

Pork loins are pretty lean and a little bland on their own. You can rev them up with a good, punchy barbecue rub, but they lend themselves to being stuffed to pack in extra flavour.

Butterflied Stuffed Pork Tenderloins

Yakitori is Japanese skewered meat (usually chicken or pork) grilled over fire and the wood oven does an amazing job of replicating the searing heat usually associated with cooking this dish.

Depending on the season, you can go traditional and use flat leaf parsley. The cavolo nero adds an earthy, bitter note that pairs well with the tang of red wine vinegar and steak.

Hanger Steak with Cavolo Nero, Chimichurri and Eggs

This is a wonderful vegetarian alternative to the sausage rafts that were in my Skewered book. But equally delicious with the charred leek smothered with melty cheddar cheese and chimichurri. A truly delicious combination.

Charred Leek Rafts

A whole cauliflower oozing with cheese and topped with a crumble of crispy cooked onions can be a real centrepiece for a feast.

Cauliflower Mustard Crumble

Provolone cheese is great when grilled, with crispy edges and a soft oozy centre. Load it up with a zingy dressing similar to chimichurri that will cut through the richness of the cheese.

Provolone Cheese with Oregano and Chilli

A hugely popular street food dish in Peru is the spicy anticuchos skewer, commonly made using ox heart (or from any of many other beasts). Here I used fallow deer heart as it‘s readily available to me here in south-west of England.

Venison Heart Anticuchos

You should be able to pick up the boerewors sausages pretty easily these days. The authentic wood to use for flavour is a Namibian hardwood kameeldoring (camelthorn).

I love this recipe and brought the big guns out for it – my 1m-long churrasco skewers – and cooked the meat over applewood embers.

Pork Loin with Parmesan Crust

A good pork chop is a wonderful thing, but not easy to get right; you need the right sort of heat to ensure a good sear and crispy crackling.

Coffee, Rum and Maple Glazed Pork Chops

There have been some wonderful twists to the traditional recipe. My favourite tweak has been to add a sprinkle of black pudding on the inside with the sausage meat.

Barbecue Scotch Egg

A Barnsley chop is a beautiful thing, a wing of juicy tender lamb with butterfly handles for you to grab hold of, and when you nail the crispy fat, oh boy, it’s wonderful. Here I serve them up with some Spanish-style rice and chimichurri.

What do you get when you cross a chicken drumstick with a pizza?

Pizza Chicken Drumsticks

Often I find the most simple way to cook BBQ turkey is the best. I’ve tried brines and they are great, but sometimes a bit of faff. For me my favourite way is to simply inject the breasts with a huge amount of butter.

BBQ Turkey

A real treat if you are cooking up a Sunday-roast style BBQ meal, or just to go with a selection of BBQ meats...

Stinking Bishop, as its name suggests, is a strong, pungent cheese, but it is also very creamy and works really nicely with dry-aged beef. The cheese goes really melty and oozy.

Stinking Bishop Stuffed Burger

A caveman or dirty steak – meaning it is cooked directly on the coals – is just about my favourite way to cook a steak. I went with a lovely dry-aged sirloin with creamy fat for this dish.
