How to Make Country Spice Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 10-cup casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add 1 cup raisins to the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish.
  5. **Sauce:** In the same bowl (no need to wash!), whisk together: ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup boiling water.
  6. Gently pour the sauce evenly over the pudding batter in the casserole dish.
  7. Do not stir the sauce and batter together.
  8. Bake, uncovered, in the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the pudding stand for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
