Grape Nuts Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
• Soak Grape-nuts in hot water for a short while.
• Put into the casserole.
• Add the butter, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well.
• Bake in a pan of water in a 350°F oven for 30-45 minutes, maybe more, depending on your oven.
• Before taking out, check to see if it is firm in the middle.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• Put milk and Grape-Nuts cereal in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
• Remove from heat, stir, and let cool 15 minutes.
• While milk mixture is cooling, beat eggs with sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl.
• Add the cooled milk and Grape-Nuts to egg mixture and stir well.
• Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle nutmeg over the top.
• Set the baking dish into a deep roasting pan.
• Place in the oven and pour water into the roasting pan, enough to reach halfway up the side of the dish.
• Bake until almost set in the center, 50 to 60 minutes (there should be a very slight jiggle when you shake the pan and a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
• Let the pudding set atop the stove for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve plain, with vanilla ice cream or with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat the milk, sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl; pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle the cereal over the mixture and dot with the butter pieces. Gently set the baking dish into a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the larger dish to reach at least 1 inch up the side of the dish with the custard.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Sprinkle the nutmeg over the dish to serve.

Steps:

• In a large metal bowl with an electric mixer beat together yolks and sugar until pale yellow and thick.
• In a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water heat 2 cups heavy cream until warm.
• Add warm cream to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly.
• Set bowl with custard over simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until a thermometer registers 170°F. Remove bowl from heat and stir in remaining cup cream. Chill custard until cold, about 1 hour.
• Add Grape-Nuts and vanilla to custard and freeze in an ice-cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden. Ice cream may be made 1 week ahead.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, flour, and grapenuts together.
• Stir in melted butter.
• Stir in eggs, one at a time.
• Slowly stir in milk.
• Pour into 1 1/2 quart, well buttered or sprayed baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
• Check for doneness by inserting clean knife into center. The knife should come out clean and top should be golden brown.
• Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine the cereal, salt and milk while preparing the remainder.
• Grease with butter a 2.5 qt casserole dish.
• In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and emulsified.
• Pour the cereal and milk mixture into a mixing bowl and add the egg and sugar mixture. Stir well though do not allow to get overly foamy.
• Pour into the greased casserole and bake 60 minutes. This is done when a knife inserted halfway from the edge to the middle comes out clean.
• Do not attempt to overbake, it will appear underdone in the middle. Carry over cooking will handle that. Overcooked and it makes a nice albeit sweet hockey puck!

Steps:

• Combine grapenuts and warm water.
• Let stand until water is absorbed.
• Combine beaten eggs with all ingredients except pie shell.
• Fold in grapenuts.
• Spoon into pie shell.
• Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
