If you watch Food Network channel very much I am sure have seen The Best Thing I Ever Ate show.

Well, if the Food Network people called me and asked me to be on the show, which I doubt they ever will, I would have to say that Cold Biscuit Pudding is the “best thing I ever ate!”

My mother-in-law was visiting with me one day and I had some leftover biscuits sitting on the counter.

She began to tell me about this wonderful concoction.

I had never heard of such but we mixed it up and then I tasted it!

Let me tell you, delicious doesn’t even begin to describe how this taste.

It is a mixture of fluffy homemade biscuits with just a hint of vanilla all mixed in with a buttery, chocolatey pudding goodness, and it is so easy to make.

As my brother-in-law Brock would say, “it’s gooder than cake!”  I often make extra biscuits just so I will have leftovers to make Cold Biscuit Pudding.

Okay, here it is, try not to founder yourself!

Cold Biscuit Pudding – The Best Thing I Ever Ate

INGREDIENTS

3-4 leftover homemade biscuits, {see biscuit recipe}

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 stick real sweet cream butter, cut into slices.  DO NOT USE MARGARINE

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Crumble biscuits in bottom of a 9X9 inch baking dish.

Put sugar, milk, vanilla, cocoa and butter into a medium saucepan, over medium low heat, stirring constantly, bring to a boil.

Turn heat off and boil for 1 minute.

Pour chocolate mixture slowly and evenly over biscuits.

Put in the oven and bake until bubbly, usually about 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, let cool until you can stand it any longer and you have to dig in.

The wonderful thing about this recipe is you can alter it several different ways.

If you don’t want chocolate pudding just omit the cocoa and add another 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

You can also add chopped pecans, just sprinkle them on the top right before putting it in the oven.

If you really wanted to get fancy you could add a little bit of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg for a more spicy pudding.

Just get creative and see what you can come up with.
