Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with unsalted butter, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
Tear the day-old biscuits into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces, pressing down gently with a spoon to ensure the bread soaks up the liquid.
If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the top and gently mix them into the pudding.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to ensure the biscuits absorb the custard.
Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Dust the top of the bread pudding with powdered sugar for a finishing touch and serve warm.
