Pudding: Old Fashioned Indian Pudding




Source of Recipe


House & Garden, December 1963 - James Beard


List of Ingredients




1 quart scalded milk
1/3 cup yellow corn meal
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup molasses
1 good teaspoon ginger

Recipe



Put the scalded milk and corn meal in the top of a double boiler over boiling water. Add the salt and cook, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes. Mix with the molasses and ginger and pour into a buttered 2-quart soufflè dish or baking dish. Bake in a 300°F. oven for about 2 hours. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

NOTE: This is the definitive, simple, delicious, standard recipe for IP. There is no need to mess around with the other versions that contain eggs. Adding a little cinnamon and nutmeg is a permissible perversion. Having sampled them both within a week of each other, I can attest that this recipe is every bit as good as what is served in Durgin-Park in Faneuil Hall, a restaurant whose IP is considered a signature dish. By the way, this version will serve 6 people only if they do not like dessert. It serves 4 normal people, or 3 full-blooded actual Indians.
