Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, dissolve sugar in milk and water over low heat. Stir until dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add biscuit crumbs, butter, beaten egg, and vanilla flavoring.

- Bake at 350°F until firm, about 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of skim milk. If you don't have biscuit crumbs, crushed graham crackers or even leftover cake can work as a substitute. To enhance the dish, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon. If you're looking for a healthier twist, try using a sugar substitute suitable for baking. This pudding can also be made using light bread crumbs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence. It pairs beautifully with Whipped Banana Yogurt for a delightful contrast in textures and flavors. Consider serving alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a comforting dessert experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of milk for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any type of milk, including almond or oat milk, as a dairy-free alternative. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture might slightly change. If you're using a non-dairy milk, choose a version that is unsweetened to control the sweetness of the pudding.
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when the center is set and no longer jiggly. A good test is to insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pudding is ready. Keep an eye on it as baking times can vary based on your oven and dish size.
Is it possible to make this pudding ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the biscuit pudding a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. It often tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Just reheat before serving for the best experience.
