Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Grape-Nuts cereal
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 unit Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Grape-Nuts cereal. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the cereal to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
Gradually pour the milk and Grape-Nuts mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake the pudding for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and take it out of the water bath. Let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit for an extra touch.
