Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart round baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a double boiler over simmering water, pour in the hot milk. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, eggs, melted butter, salt, ginger, and cinnamon until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Stir the wet ingredients into the thickened cornmeal mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gently pour the cold milk over the top of the pudding. Do not stir. (1 minute)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the pudding is set but still slightly quivery in the center, approximately 2 hours. (120 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the oven and let stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to fully set and the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use dark amber maple syrup.
Adjust the amount of ginger and cinnamon to your preference.
The pudding can be made a day ahead and reheated gently before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
