NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN PUDDING

Here is a recipe that I found in my cookbook "The New Book of Whole Grains" by Marlene Ann Bumgarner. It's a pudding that the colonists made, that's why it's called Native American Indian Pudding. 

Ever since I tried it I have been making it very often, it is simply delicious, not too sweet but so tasty.

All you need is  1/2 cup Cornmeal (I use the one for Polenta), 3 cups milk, 1 egg, ,1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup molasses, salt,  1/2 ts. baking soda, 1 ts. cinnamon,1/2 ts.  nutmeg, 1/2 ts. ginger.

Mix cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking soda in a pan. Add 1 1/2 cups milk and 2 Tablespoons butter. Boil, remove from heat. Beat the egg with molasses, spices and remaining milk then add to the cornmeal mixture. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours.
