Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting half of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. If you want to switch up the fruit, both cherries and peaches work wonderfully, while blueberries can add a tart twist. Ensure your margarine is softened for easier mixing, and don't overmix the batter to keep it fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of flour?
Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and flavor, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly.
How can I tell when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If it still has batter on it, continue baking for a few more minutes and check again.
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just pour it into the baking dish and bake it fresh the next day for the best texture and flavor.
