Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pudding mixture the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just pour it into the greased pan and bake it in the morning for a fresh and warm treat.
What can I substitute for molasses?
If you don't have molasses, you can substitute it with honey or maple syrup, although the flavor will differ slightly. Brown sugar mixed with water can also work as a substitute for a similar sweetness.
