Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (1/2 stick), plus more for the pan
4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt -- big pinch
6 biscuits -- 2 1/2-inch (or thereabouts)

Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole or baking pan. Preheat the oven
to 325F.

Put the 4 tablespoons butter in a small heatproof dish in the oven to
melt.

With a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar
and whisk until combined.

In a big bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, the milk,
vanilla, and salt. Break the biscuits into the bowl in large chunks. Let
them soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

When the oven is hot, pour the biscuit mixture into the casserole. Heap
the meringue on top. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until the meringue is well
browned and when you give the casserole a shake, the pudding beneath
doesn't quiver too much. Remove from the oven and serve just slightly
warm. It's also good cold and keeps for several days, tightly covered, in
the refrigerator.

Serves 8

AuthorNote: There's bread pudding, so why not biscuit pudding? Why not
indeed. After even just a few hours, once rich and tender biscuits become
about as appetizing as a child's board book. The idea of this pudding came
from a 'Salon' story by a writer reminiscing about his Southern
grandmother's biscuit pudding. I took some liberties with the recipe as
written and ended up with a dessert that I love more than any bread
pudding I've ever eaten. However, if you're one of those people who think
pecan pie is too sweet, this isn't the right recipe for you.
