Old-Time Biscuit Pudding
Old-Time Biscuit Pudding is a comforting dessert combining flaky baked biscuits soaked in milk, blended with buttery richness and a touch of sweetness. Perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights, its simple ingredients and warm flavors evoke nostalgic home cooking and timeless tradition.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the baked biscuits in milk until they form a thin batter.
- Add the beaten egg, sugar, and melted butter to the batter.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) until the pudding is set and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk to soak the biscuits. You can also substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. If you have stale biscuits, they're perfect for this recipe as they soak up the milk better. Ensure the egg is well-beaten before adding to the mixture to achieve a smooth texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the biscuit pudding warm, drizzled with a bit of maple syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the richness. For a comforting meal, consider serving it alongside dishes like Great Creamed Potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover biscuit pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, just be careful not to overheat.
