2. Let the sauce come to boiling while you make the pudding

Directions: Pudding

1. Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix
2. Add the wet ingredients and mix
3. Pour and scrape into a greased 2 quart casserole baking dish (mixture rises while baking so leave room for pudding to tripple in size)
4. Gently pour sauce over pudding by pouring it into a large spoon held closely over the pudding
5. Bake 350° for 30 minutes
6. Serve warm topped with whip cream or ice cream

Optional

Add 1/2 cup each of nuts and/or raisins. To me this is not an option since it greatly improves the desert.
