Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with butter.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
Gradually add the warmed milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
Stir in the Grape-Nuts cereal and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the cereal to soften.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and create a water bath by pouring hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
Carefully transfer the pans to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
