Come now. You knew the answer to that (:-) A custard is made,
basically, with eggs, although milk might be added, while a pudding is
made, basically, with milk, although eggs may be added.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square
baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, boiling
water, vanilla, and butter. Pour into prepared baking dish. In a clean
bowl, mix together white sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, nuts, and
raisins. Drop by spoonfuls on top of the mixture in the baking dish.
