Brown Sugar Pudding

This pudding is really more like raisin-nut dumplings in brown-sugar sauce.

Dumplings:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup milk (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon butter (at room temperature)

Sauce:
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix dry dumpling ingredients; add milk and butter, stirring just until moistened. Stir in nuts and raisins. Set aside.

Put sauce ingredients in a flat baking pan and bring to boil on the stove. Drop dough into boiling sauce by rounded tablespoonsful.

Bake for about 15 minutes.

Serve warm.

Serves 6 to 8.
