Poor Man's Pudding

Poor Man’s Pudding Cake

Boil for 10 minutes:

2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
Add- 2 T. butter
1 tsp. vanilla (Don’t forget this step!
I’ve done that a lot!)

Mix separately:

1 cup flour
½ s. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ cup water
Add raisins and nuts if desired (we love it plain!)

Drop second mixture into the first mixture
(in a 9 x 9 baking dish.) Do not stir. Bake
at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until brown
on top. Great with vanilla ice cream
or whipped cream!

(This was our dessert going through 4 ½ years as poor young- marrieds!)
