- Provide moisture and tartness that balance the sweetness as they soften during baking.
- Granulated sugar
- Sweetens the layers and helps the top brown lightly in the oven.
- Raisins
- Add chewy pockets of concentrated sweetness throughout the pudding.
- Butter
- Adds richness and helps the top brown while keeping the layers moist.
