Indian pudding (roberta krieger)

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 quart Milk
⅔ cup Cornmeal
¾ cup Molasses
¼ cup Butter [I've tried margarine, but it doesn't taste the same]
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.

Ice cream [I prefer vanilla]

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring milk to a boil in the top part of a double boiler. Stir in cornmeal and cook over hot water for 15 minutes. Stir in molasses [I use the light variety, but I guess dark would work as well], and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.

Stir in butter, sugar, ginger, and salt. Turn into an oven casserole and bake 1½ - 2 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.

Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter.
