Raisin Pudding

I got my inspiration for this recipe from the Christian Home Cookbook. This pudding would be really good with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Sometimes this is called 'Poor Man's Pudding'.
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
1. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Cut in butter until well blended.
3. Mix in raisins.
4. Gradually add milk stirring lightly with fork until just blended.
5. Spoon the batter into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. I used my corning ware dish.
The batter will be quite thick.
6. Mix sauce and pour over the batter.

Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 3/4 cups boiling water
  1. Whisk together until smooth.
  2. Pour sauce over batter.
  3. Bake in a 375ยบ oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Let cool in baking dish for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken up a bit.
  5. Best served warm. Great with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream.

  3. My mom used to make this all the time, except her version was called 1/2 hour pudding. It's just as good cold too! We used to have it for school lunches the next day - you just couldn't fit enough in the small tupperware containers that we had!

  8. We had a version of this pudding called batter pudding - it was one of our favourite desserts as children. When I make it the batter is quite runny and actually floats on top of the sauce when baked. It is good although I find it a little sweet now - a little ice cream on top mellows the flavour a bit.

  16. This is good with any kind of fruit. Just vary the hot water depending on how juicy the fruit is
