Indian Pudding (Roberta Krieger)
Ingredients
1 qt milk
2/3 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup butter [i've tried margarine, but i, t doesn't
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
Preparation
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 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.
Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter.
