Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use day-old biscuits as they crumble more easily and absorb the liquid better. You can substitute half of the cream with milk for a lighter version or use almond milk for a dairy-free option. If you want to add a twist, consider mixing in some chocolate chips or dried fruit. This biscuit pudding is reminiscent of American recipes that celebrate comfort food.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Biscuit Pudding warm, drizzled with a bit of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light fruit salad. This dish also complements a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful addition to brunch or a cozy dessert option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions, but be cautious to avoid overheating, which can make it dry.
