Biscuit Bread Pudding

internetnut's Note:

I have not tried tis recipe. I found it here on recipezaar on the message boards. It was posted by Danielle Michalski. Howard Paige explains that years ago, African Americans could only afford homemade biscuits rather than the white bread that the more affluent enjoyed. When the biscuits went stale, the inventive cook turned them into a wonderful dessert.

Can't believe I actually found a recipe for 'leftover biscuits' - It's in the oven as I write this and smells delicious. Only modification I had to make was to use peaches (didn't have raisins or apples). Thanks again so much and will surely be making again.

I had some left over biscuits from breakfast in my restaurant. I made a double batch of this and added 2 cups chopped pecans and after it cam out of the oven i made whiskey sauce icing from 1/4 cup bourbon and 1 lb powdered sugar. I sold every bit of it in 45 mins. I will be making this all winter!! Thanks for the recipe!!

This is delicious! I've made it twice now, using apples. The only change I made was to cut the recipe in half and bake it in an 8x8 pan. Great recipe!
