Is there a homemade substitute for the packaged pudding mix? NOT going to the store (Covid risks and a snowstorm here)! Thanks!
Use butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in lieu of pudding. You don’t have to have pudding. Enjoy and stay cozy!
Can you tell me what kind of frozen dinner rolls you used? Are they the already cooked version or are they still dough, if that makes sense?
They’re still dough, Jordan. Rhodes are great!
