Baking with evaporated milk and adding water usually works out better than using fresh milk or cream. Love Grapenut pudding...mostly because of the custard! And because of my grandfather. Anyway, I have soaked the grapenuts in 1 cup of the milk of the 4cups and heated the other 3cups...2cups of that is Half and half and 1 cup 1% milk!
If you like Grape Nut Pudding, I think you'll like this. I always double the original recipe, so the ingredients below are for the double one, but if you want a smaller one, you can cut it in half." Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Soak Grape-nuts in hot water for a short while. Put into the casserole.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8" round cake that's at least 2" deep. Whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, and vanilla. Add the Grape-Nuts, brown sugar, and salt, stirring to combine thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
