Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients, except biscuits and cinnamon, in a saucepan.
- Warm the mixture, then add crumbled biscuits; stir well.
- Pour into a baking dish; sprinkle the top with cinnamon.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until it checks done when a toothpick is inserted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using evaporated milk instead of whole milk. If you don't have nutmeg, cinnamon can be a great substitute. Make sure to crumble the biscuits into smaller pieces for even distribution. For added texture, consider adding raisins or nuts. If you're using homemade biscuits, slightly stale ones work best as they absorb the liquid without becoming mushy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this biscuit pudding warm, drizzled with a bit of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light dessert like Quick Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating

Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated evenly. Enjoy it warm for the best taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of biscuits?
Yes, feel free to experiment with different types of biscuits. Graham crackers or even shortbread cookies can add unique flavors. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level might vary, so adjust the sugar accordingly. Using flavored biscuits can also enhance the overall taste of the pudding.
What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas, using about 1/4 cup for each egg. Alternatively, flaxseed meal mixed with water can work as well; combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg. This will keep the texture moist.
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just add the crumbled biscuits right before baking to maintain their texture. When ready to bake, pour the mixture into the baking dish, sprinkle with cinnamon, and follow the baking instructions. This can save you time when hosting.
