Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.
Break the matzoh sheets into medium-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until just steaming. Do not let it boil.
Pour the warm milk over the matzoh pieces and let them soak for 5 minutes to soften.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the soaked matzoh and gently stir to combine without breaking up the matzoh too much.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, if using.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Optionally, serve with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream.
