"This Grape-Nuts pudding will make you feel good all over - it's that delicious!" Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat with hand beater. Pour into 9x12-inch baking dish. Bake 1 hour at 350°F (or till done).
A popular dessert in New England, Grape-Nut Custard Pudding is basically a mildly-sweet egg custard, flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg and combined with Grape-Nuts cereal for extra flavor and texture. It's not only easy to make, according to our calculations, it's less than 150 calories per serving.
Heat oven to 350° and butter a 2-quart baking dish. Put milk and Grape-Nuts in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, stir, and let cool 15 minutes. In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs with sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the cooled milk and Grape-Nuts to egg mixture and stir well.
For elegant presentation (even though "elegant grapenut pudding" might be an oxymoron), cut pudding into rounds with a biscuit cutter and serve on a plate, rather than in a bowl. Why the range in sugar? Some people prefer their pudding quite sweet; others, knowing they'll be adding whipped cream or ice cream, prefer it a bit less sweet.
