Old Fashioned Biscuit Pudding Recipes

BISCUIT PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• (Optional) If using a meringue: In a large mixing bowl beat the egg whites until nearly stiff. Add the sugar slowly while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set the meringue aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, crumble the biscuits until they are coarse crumbs. (Start with 6 biscuits and add more if needed to get the correct texture.)
• Add the milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and butter to the crumbled biscuits. Mix well. If needed, add additional biscuits one at a time until a mushy texture is achieved - not too thin, not too thick.
• Transfer the pudding to a well-buttered round casserole or baking dish. Top with the meringue, if using.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the meringue is a rich, golden brown and the pudding is creamy but set.
• Note: If you chose not to use a meringue, dot the top of the pudding with two tablespoons of butter about halfway through cooking.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
