Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 day-old biscuits, crumbled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Mix sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add sugar mixture to milk mixture; stir until combined.

Step 3

Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with an even layer of crumbled biscuits. Pour custard mixture evenly over biscuits; press down onto the biscuits with the back of a large spoon to moisten them.

Step 4

Place the baking dish into a larger high-sided baking pan. Place dish on oven rack; add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until pudding is set.
