Description: Author, presenter and Strictly Come Dancing finalist John Whaite makes bostocks using leftover hot cross buns, which are soaked in syrup with a layer of almond cream and fresh raspberries. Bostocks are traditionally made with brioche but this version is a great way of using up Easter hot cross buns and reducing food waste. You can also use teacakes, croissants or brioche that are a little dry, and transform them into something sweet and cakey.
