Recipe: Poor Man's Pudding - Betty: I am afraid your pudding recipe contains more

ingredients, & perhaps quite expensive, than the recipes I found. For example, dates are imported goods, etc....Anyway here is the recipe.

Poor Man's Pudding

1 c flour
2 ts baking powder
1/4 ts salt
2 tb white sugar
2 tb shortening
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c milk

SAUCE
1 c brown sugar
1 tb butter

Mix pudding ingredients together. Pat it into a rounded shape and place in a casserole dish. Make sauce. Pour over pudding and bake for 1/2 hour at 350F. The pudding rises like an island surrounded by a thin but delicious butterscotch sauce.
