Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup Post Grape-Nuts cereal
4 cups whole milk
5 large eggs
2 to 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for dusting over the top of the pudding)
Freshly ground nutmeg (for dusting over the top of the pudding)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and heat a kettle of water to just below boiling.
  • Generously butter the bottom and sides of a glass baking dish (either 13 x 9 or 9 x 9 - see notes).
  • Place the Grape-Nuts cereal in a large bowl and set it aside.
  • Scald the milk in the microwave or a saucepan and pour it over the cereal, reserving 1/2 cup for tempering the eggs.
  • Set the cereal and milk aside for 5 minutes to begin softening.
  • While the cereal soaks, whisk the eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt, and cinnamon together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is a little frothy.
  • Start whisking the reserved milk into the eggs, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the eggs are tempered, add them to the bowl with the milk and cereal.
  • Stir to combine, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle some extra cinnamon and nutmeg over the top.
  • Place the baking dish into the center of a large roasting pan and carefully pour the hot water into the outer pan to a depth of about 1-inch.If you aren't familiar with baking custard in a water bath (bain-marie), click here for a more detailed explanation.
  • Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the pudding pulls away from the edges of the dish slightly and a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pudding from its water-filled outer container and set the dish on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • To serve, cut into squares for serving and top with whipped cream if desired.

GRAPE-NUTS CUSTARD IN NANNY'S MEMORY



Grape-Nuts Custard in Nanny's Memory image

My nanny passed away when I was 10 years of age though one of my fondest memories is of her grapenut custard and how it was a staple in her home. If it was not just a visit but a family dinner at her house, it always came out with a dollop of whipped cream on top. I have been making this for years and cannot help but remember my nanny and smile with each bite. I like it best without the whipped cream and cold from the fridge just like it always was a nanny's house. This recipe gives a nice caramelized almost crisp top and a soft velvety interior. c.2007
