Yes, when I was working as a teacher's ass't we made Indian pudding with our kids every year. Oh, did it smell good when we went into our classrooms the next a.m. . The janitors gave it a stir before they went home at night. I have made this every year with my daughter too. This was our "Big" thing to do every Thanksgiving.

Indian Pudding.
3 c. scalded milk,
1 c. cream scalded,
2 1/2 T Butter
1/2 c. molasses
1/2 c. maple syru1 t. salt
2/3 t. cinn
1/2 t ginger
2 eggs
1 1/4 c. cold milk
5 T yellow cornmeal
Place all ingredients in your crockpot except the 1 1/4 c milk. Blend everything together and cook on low overnight. Gradually add the 1 1/4 c. milk over time as the pudding thickens. Stir every hour or so .Serve with cold whipped cream.

Does anyone know why this is called Indian Pudding?

[Pippe]

Thank you ladies!
Cat lover - Indian pudding is an old New England dessert. Since corn was a crop introduced to the colonists by the NAs and molasses (or treacle as it was called then) was a staple it was probably one of those things that evolved (or was adapted) from using what they had on hand. It is a hearty dessert so I'm sure anything that was filling & tasted good was welcomed.

Take care - Pippe

Both of these recipes look great! Wish I had gotten to them sooner, but will make one of them for Nativity.

Cheerio!
