Grapenut Pudding

By Memere

Ingredients

• 1 quart milk, Scalded
• 1 cup Grade-Nuts cereal
• 4 large eggs
• Scant 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter(approx.)
• Whole nutmeg
• Water

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-size bowl, pour scalded milk over Grape-Nuts and let sit 5 minutes. In a second medium-size bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add egg mixture to milk and Grape-Nuts and stir well. Pour into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish. Generously grate nutmeg over the top. Place the casserole into a deep roasting pan. Place in the over and pout water into the roating pan, enough to reach halfway up the side of the casserole. Bake 45-60 minutes, until almost set in the center (very slight jiggle).
