<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIs homemade pudding hard to make?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most people my age and younger think of homemade pudding as mixing some magic powder from a little a box with milk. At least that is a step above, those dreaded little flavorless snack cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I learned how easy homemade pudding is, I developed a love affair with them. Most involve simple ingredients cooked together to achieve the proper consistency, then cooled until serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But some, like this cornmeal pudding and Figgy Pudding<\/a> are best served warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Give it a try on one of these chilly fall evenings and I am sure you and your family will fall in love with it like we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know the name \"Indian Pudding\" is offensive to both the Native American peoples and those of the Indian subcontinent. I did not create the name or the recipe. That happened 300 - 400 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back in colonial America, the colonists adapted their traditional English recipes to use ingredients available to them. In this case, the traditional Hasty Pudding made with wheat flour and sugar was reimagined to use cornmeal and molasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cornmeal was called \"Indian meal\" and anything made with cornmeal was referred to as \"Indian\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, in the era of SEO, the almighty search engines would probably bury this post in the far recesses of the internet never to be found again if I changed the name. So, Indian Pudding it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ingredients are so basic and easy to find, you may already have them in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For serving I highly suggest some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall calls for comfort, including comforting desserts. While these desserts can be enjoyed anytime of year they seem to be extra tasty when the weather starts to chill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div>\n
