INDIAN PUDDING WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter six 12-ounce ramekins. Bring a pot of water to a boil for a hot-water bath. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together squash puree, eggs, spices, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, bring milk, syrup, molasses, and butter to a simmer. While whisking, slowly add cornmeal. Cook, whisking, until mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
• While whisking, pour the hot milk mixture into the reserved squash mixture. Whisk until well combined. Divide the mixture equally among the prepared ramekins, and place in a roasting pan. Transfer to oven rack, and pour boiling water into pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until pudding is firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Remove ramekins from the pan, and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat together sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft and creamy, at least 10 minutes.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the maple syrup and milk. Just mix enough to moisten. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. The maple syrup will sink to the bottom, and the top should be lightly browned. Serve warm.

MY BEST AND EASY INDIAN PUDDING

Steps:

• Using a non stick (or heavy bottomed) sauce pan add milk and heat on medium heat until nearly bubbling at the edges and steaming.
• Slowly whisk in the meal and whisk slowly until the meal is suspended in the milk, meaning none hanging out at the bottom of the pot. Continue whisking off and on until it reaches a medium thick hot cereal consistency. Again you *can* walk away and whisk every 5 minutes or so.
• Turn stove to low heat and continue to whisk off and on while it thickens. No need to be afraid. I have left it unattended for over 10 minutes and it will not scorch, lump or stick.
• When it reaches 'thick hot cereal' stage, stir in remaining ingredients. I usually whisk. Mix well to combine evenly.
• Leave pudding on low, stirring/whisking occasionally until thickened a bit more; 10-15 minutes approximately.
• Turn off heat and let the pan sit until it has cooled down half way, then cover with the lid and let it 'set.' Times will vary with setting. Last night it was 15 minutes or so and in 2 hours I could upturn the pan. Refrigerate and reheat gently; I use the microwave for individual servings.
• I used the high end of the cook time and will depend on your corn meal, heat of stove, etc -- I have seen many recipes making this pudding appear scary; stand at stove and never stop whisking the entire time. Fiddley sticks!
