How to Make Indian Pudding

Here's a delicious American recipe from 1918's Foods That Will Win the War. This simple recipe is easy to assemble and only requires one addition after 20 minutes.

4 cups milk
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon allspice

"Cook milk and meal in a double boiler 20 minutes; add molasses, salt and vinegar. Pour into greased pudding dish and bake two hours in a slow oven [about 325 degrees]. Serve with milk. This makes a good and nourishing dessert. Serves six."
