GRAPE NUT PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
• Soak Grape-nuts in hot water for a short while.
• Put into the casserole.
• Add the butter, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well.
• Bake in a pan of water in a 350°F oven for 30-45 minutes, maybe more, depending on your oven.
• Before taking out, check to see if it is firm in the middle.

GRAPENUTS™ CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat the milk, sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl; pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle the cereal over the mixture and dot with the butter pieces. Gently set the baking dish into a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the larger dish to reach at least 1 inch up the side of the dish with the custard.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Sprinkle the nutmeg over the dish to serve.

GRAPE-NUTS PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak your Grape-Nuts in a measuring cup which you will fill with water until you reach the one cup mark. It might not equal one full cup of water so be advised to just fill the cup to that line with the cereal in it.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spray a deep-walled casserole dish with nonstick spray and place it on top of a walled baking sheet. Add 2 cups of water to the baking sheet which the casserole dish will sit on.
• Place soaked Grape-Nuts in the bottom of the sprayed casserole dish.
• In a large bowl combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk in the milk, and melted butter and combine fully.
• Pour mixture over the cereal and bake for 90 minutes uncovered in the water bath. This water helps to keep the pudding moist and prevents it from cracking and drying out.
• Allow pudding to firm up at room temperature for at least one hour before serving.
• Serve with fresh whipped cream & extra cinnamon topping *if preferred

GRAPE-NUTS CUSTARD IN NANNY'S MEMORY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine the cereal, salt and milk while preparing the remainder.
• Grease with butter a 2.5 qt casserole dish.
• In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and emulsified.
• Pour the cereal and milk mixture into a mixing bowl and add the egg and sugar mixture. Stir well though do not allow to get overly foamy.
• Pour into the greased casserole and bake 60 minutes. This is done when a knife inserted halfway from the edge to the middle comes out clean.
• Do not attempt to overbake, it will appear underdone in the middle. Carry over cooking will handle that. Overcooked and it makes a nice albeit sweet hockey puck!
