This recipe was handed down from my great grandma's mom who was born in the 1800's. It's really delicious and comforting on a cool spring or autumn night. My boys love this easy old-fashioned dessert warm, topped with cream, ice cream or whipped cream.
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, reserve 1/4cup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch each nutmeg and salt
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Ice cream
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring water and 1/2 cup brown sugar to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Pour into a greased 1-qt. baking dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and milk just until blended. Stir in the remaining brown sugar. Fold in raisins. Drop by spoonfuls over sauce.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Spoon into dishes. Serve with ice cream. For a nice change, this is also good with fruit... I like to use apple pie filling, or sliced bananas, its very versatile dessert, many fruits go well use what you like best.
