Indian Pudding Day and Recipes


Ennis-TX

So today November 13th is National Indian Pudding day, I pulled the following from The Nibble doing research to find it is a naturally gluten free receipe. With allergies to the ingreidents you will find substitutes at the bottom for a Grain free Paleo version I made this morning....not as good as the original but made do (will be posted once I repeat again and measure it this time! I subbed in nut flours and miracle rice and added til it thickened properly not counting.)

Indian Pudding History
What’s Indian pudding? It’s a baked pudding served hot or warm, made of cornmeal, milk, molasses and spices. It’s a richer, sweetened form of hasty pudding, a porridge of cornmeal cooked in milk or water. (Remember the song, Yankee Doodle: “Father and I went down to camp/Along with Captain Gooding/And there we saw the men and boys/as thick as hasty pudding.”) The name Indian Pudding doesn’t imply that it’s a Native American (or Pacific Rim) recipe. The Plymouth Colony emigrants were accustomed to warm plum puddings, bread puddings and the like. But flour was scarce—no wheat grew in New England. However, corn grew; the native Wampanoags had plenty of cornmeal. So “Indian” pudding was born, using cornmeal plus butter, eggs, milk, molasses and spices such as as cinnamon and ginger. The pudding was topped with heavy cream. None of these were Native American ingredients. The word “Indian” referred to the corn—hence Indian pudding, Indian bread (cornbread) and so forth.

Jasper White’s Indian Pudding Recipe Jasper White is a great American chef. He worked in venues across the country before settling in Boston, where he and Lydia Shire presided over some of the city’s venerable hotel kitchens and introduced Boston to contemporary American cooking. He then opened the award-winning Jasper’s Restaurant, Boston’s premier restaurant destination for 12 years. In his years as in Boston, Chef White researched New England cuisine and became an authority on New England foods, one of which is Indian pudding. Chef White prefers to serve Indian Pudding with heavy cream, which is delicious—and is the perfect topping for leftover Indian Pudding enjoyed for breakfast (or for fewer calories, use milk or half-and-half). But in our opinion, you can’t beat a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which provides its own creamy topping as it melts into the warm Indian pudding.

Ingredients
2-½ tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups milk
5 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup cold milk
2 pints premium vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or light cream (half and half) for topping Yellow Cornmeal Yellow cornmeal from South Texas Milling.

Preparation
Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease a 1-½ quart soufflé mold or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter; set aside.
Heat 3 cups of milk in a saucepan until it is close to boiling. Add the cornmeal and reduce heat to low.
Stir until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and add the remaining butter, the molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, salt and egg.
Pour into buttered dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Pour the cold milk over the pudding and return to the oven.
Cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes until the top is brown and crisp.
Serve hot or warm with topping of choice.

Serves six to eight. Reheat leftover pudding before serving.

Sounds interesting....funny thing, yesterday I found my grandmother's old recipe box and she had a recipe for Indian pudding (which I've never heard of).  I was thinking how do I convert it to paleo to try this recipe??  And here you posted your recipe today! I'm gonna have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

Yeah I used miracle rice but it did not thicken so I used coconut flour and almond flour the used ooolfavlors cornbread flavor drops. but again I just sort of spooned it and and stirred...did not measure but was a about 1:2 ratio of coconut to almond  as coconut thickens and almond gives it that grainy texture, you could probably adjust more and even omit the miracle rice.

I used lakanto maple for the syrup and molasses, nutiva butter flavored coconut oil for the butter, and used almond milk for milk.

3 tries later I got something pretty good, had to adjust and up the baking time and measured the last time, still bit soft but I did it in a full sized loaf pan. https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2580-indian-puddingbread-pudding/

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
