Step 1

Place whole biscuits or crumbled bread (can crumble biscuits, too) in greased or sprayed baking dish. Pour hot water over biscuits or bread and let soak about 10 minutes. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over bread. Sprinkle nuts of your choice and raisins on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until brown. Makes about 8 servings.

Step 2

Combine all ingredients and boil for one minute. Either pour the sauce over the pudding and let soak in or serve separately so each person can add their own. I usually pour about half over the pudding and save the other half for sauce.
