  • About

If you were raised in New England, you’re likely to have childhood memories of this smooth, straightforward Yankee custard pudding. It’s flecked with Grape-Nuts, the wheat-and-barley cereal that softens in baking. If you grew up anywhere else, chances are you’re baffled by the idea, but it’s delicious.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (1 quart) whole milk
  • ¾ cup Grape-Nuts cereal

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a saucepan, scald the milk with the cereal; set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla; whisk in the warm milk mixture.
  2. Stir the custard to redistribute the Grape-Nut
