Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour with sugar in a bowl.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes or until the pudding is brown and set, extending the baking time if needed.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don’t have sweet milk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract. Make sure to thoroughly mix the ingredients to avoid clumps. For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to enhance the pudding's flavor.
Serving Suggestions

Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It also makes a delicious breakfast option!
