we made hot cross buns last night (fail) and they are very hard and crusty but they taste lovely, I really dont want to throw them out would be waste, so need to "refashion" them LOL would it be OK to make a bread and butter pudding out of them, bit of liquid in a pudding would soften them up, or anyone else have other ideas what to do with them?

Marmalade Brioche Bread & Butter Pudding
2 cups cream 1.5 cups milk 1/2 cup caster sugar 1 vanilla bean 5 eggs 3 mini brioche (Or fruit bread or buns or croissants) 1 orange, halved, thinly sliced Glaze 1/4 cup orange marmalade 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160C. Lightly grease a 2-litre ovenproof dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine cream, milk and sugar. Split vanilla bean in half lengthways. Scrape seeds from bean. Add bean and seeds to pan. Stir over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot. Remove and discard bean. Transfer mixture to a large jug. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture. Layer brioche and orange slices alternately and slightly overlapping in prepared dish. Pour milk mixture over. Place in a large baking dish. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 55-60 minutes until custard is set when tested with the tip of a knife (if custard is set, knife will be clean when removed).
Glaze. In a small saucepan, combine marmalade and Grand Marnier. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes until combined. Strain into a small bowl. Brush glaze over hot pudding before serving.
