3/4 c. maple syrup
1/3 c. water
1 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. melted butter
1/4 c. chopped nuts or raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine syrup and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the nuts or raisins, and mix until smooth.

Pour batter into a greased 1 quart casserole. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup nuts or raisins. Pour the boiling syrup/water mixture over batter. This makes a sauce in the bottom of pan when pudding is baked. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes. Serve with light cream or Cool Whip. Yield: Serves 4-6.
