About New England baked Indian pudding
Indian pudding is an old-fashioned New England cornmeal dessert. Yankee Magazine's selected baked version combines whole milk, molasses and maple syrup with eggs and butter, keeping the region's established sweet pudding character.
Molasses gives the pudding its dark sweetness, balanced by maple syrup and a little sugar. Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg supply warm spice, while milk and butter enrich the cornmeal base.
The pudding has a softly set, wobbly interior and a browned surface. The source permits hot or cold service; this profile selects whipped cream from its two suggested toppings.
