Biscuit Pudding

This is an old-fashioned biscuit pudding with vanilla, eggs, and milk. It is a moist and flavorful vanilla bread pudding but made with leftover biscuits instead of bread. 

Some of you will have fond childhood memories of this pudding, but even if you have never heard of it, you have to appreciate our grandparents' or great-grandparents' creative use of leftover biscuits. And the pudding is delicious!

Ingredients

• 4 leftover biscuit, torn into pieces
• 2 cups milk, divided
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

             Preparations

1. Heat the oven to 350 F.
2. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
3. Put the biscuits in a large bowl and add 1 cup of milk. Let stand for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the biscuits have softened.
4. With a fork, stir in the sugar and one of the eggs, mixing to blend well. Add the remaining eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. 
5. Add the melted butter, vanilla, and the remaining milk and blend well.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
8. Let the pudding cool.
9. Slice the pudding into squares or wedges and serve with syrup or a dessert sauce.
