Baked Indian Pudding

1 pint of Indian meal stirred into a quart of boiling milk. Let cool. Add 3 tablespoonfuls wheat flour mixed with 1 pint of cold milk. Stir all together. When the whole is lukewarm beat in:

  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cupful of sugar
  • 1 teaspoouful each of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
  • 2 tablespoonfuls melted butter
  • 2 tablespoonfuls of molasses

Half a teacupful of the milk may be reserved, and after the pudding has been poured in a buttered dish, turn this half cup over it cold. This will help the jelly to form. Bake three or four hours. Sweetened cream may be used for sauce. The eggs may be reduced in number, and 1/2 cupful more corn-meal added to take the place of 1 egg. 1 soda cracker, rolled, may be substituted for the wheat flour.
