Ingredients
- 1 cup Grape-Nuts cereal about 100 grams
- 4 cups whole milk about 946 milliliters
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar about 150 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the hot milk to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and nutmeg until everything is well combined.
- Stir in the Grape-Nuts cereal and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the cereal to absorb some of the liquid.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan or baking dish, and carefully pour hot water into the larger pan to create a water bath around the pudding dish. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the pudding dish.
- Carefully transfer the pans to the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly browned.
- Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or chilled, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Enjoy your delicious Grape-Nut pudding!
