The Griswold Inn, built in 1776 in Essex, Connecticut, has promised first-class accomodations to travelers since the stagecoach-steamboat days. This traditional molasses-rich dessert isn't as popular as it used to be, but it remains a very tasty treat. Despite the title, early New England settlers did not adapt this recipe from native Americans: 'Indian' refers to the 'Indian meal' used - cornmeal, as wheat flour wasn't available. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar |
3 teaspoons ground ginger |
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 cups milk |
1/2 cup butter |
3/4 cup cornmeal |
1 1/2 cups light molasses |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F and butter a 13 x 9 pan.
2. Combine brown sugar, spices, salt, milk and butter in a large saucepan and mix well.
3. Bring to a boil; gradually add cornmeal, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in molasses.
5. Pour mixture into buttered pan.
6. Bake for an hour and 15 minutes or until pudding is set.
