Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup maple-flavored syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup whole-grain yellow cornmeal

    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until well blended; set aside.

    In 3-quart saucepan, heat milk over medium heat just until tiny bubbles form at the edge (do not boil); stir in cornmeal. Cook over medium-low heat about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until very thick; remove from heat. Stir in maple syrup mixture, molasses, butter and eggs.
  • 3
    Pour mixture into casserole. Place casserole in 13x9-inch pan on oven rack. Pour boiling water into pan until 1 inch deep. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Carefully remove from water; place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream.

  • You can make this authentic Native American cornmeal pudding ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Serve it cold, or to reheat, place individual servings on small plates and heat uncovered in the microwave on Medium for 30 to 40 seconds or until warm. Raisins or currants would be a nice addition--to add them, stir in with the eggs.
