Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:

- Grease an 8-cup casserole dish, ensuring it’s not too shallow.

- Whisk in the 1% low-fat milk and melted butter until a fairly stiff batter forms.
3. Assemble:
- Pour the pudding batter into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Set aside.

- In a heavy saucepan, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugars are fully dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the melted butter and your choice of flavoring (maple extract or vanilla).
5. Bake:
- Immediately pour the prepared sauce over the pudding batter in the casserole dish. Do not stir.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the dessert is bubbling, puffy, and golden brown.
6. Serve:
- Once baked, the pudding will rise to the top, while the sauce settles at the bottom.
- When serving, make sure to spoon all the way to the bottom of the casserole dish to get a perfect combination of pudding and sauce in every serving.
