This is my mom's recipe and it was and still is one of my favorites. I remember walking home from school for lunch in the Winter and smelling this pudding when I walked in the door...my mom always served this warm out of the oven with the warm custard sauce.....it is a basic recipe but oh so many memories. Maybe that's why I like it so much!! This is my pics as I just made it !!
