Sweet Shortcut To Longtime Favorite Dessert

This rich, old-fashioned custard dessert is made simple with convenient biscuits from your grocer's freezer section. Reminiscent of traditional, sweet bread puddings that often call for day-old bread, the Grands!® frozen biscuits used in the Biscuit Bread Pudding recipe can be baked up to two days before preparing the dessert. Once the biscuits have cooled, store in a sealed food-storage plastic bag at room temperature. It won't matter if they're no longer as soft-like fresh-baked biscuits-the milk and sugar mixture will work its magic either way.
