Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups milk, divided
2 cups water, hot
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups molasses
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
vanilla ice cream, as much as you like

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F Grease an 8" × 8" baking dish; set aside.
  • Put 2 cups of the milk and 2 cups hot water into a medium pot and bring just to a boil. Slowly pour in cornmeal while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until very thick, 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in remaining butter. Set cornmeal mixture aside.
  • Whisk together molasses, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and egg in a large bowl. Pour molasses mixture into cornmeal mixture while whisking constantly. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish; pour remaining milk evenly over batter.
  • Bake, rotating once, until pudding is set but still soft and a skin has formed over the top, about 1 hour. (If pudding gets too dark while baking, tent with foil.).
  • Set pudding aside to let cool to room temperature. Spoon pudding into bowls and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor and will give your dressing a better texture. If you can't find fresh poppy seeds, you can use dried poppy seeds, but be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't over-process the dressing: Over-processing the dressing will make it thick and gloopy. Simply whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • Use a good quality oil: The type of oil you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dressing. Use a light-tasting oil, such as olive oil or grapeseed oil, so that the other flavors in the dressing can shine through.
  • Add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice: A little bit of vinegar or lemon juice will help to balance out the sweetness of the poppy seeds and sugar. Use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a more traditional flavor, or use lemon juice for a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Season the dressing to taste: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, sugar, or vinegar until the dressing is to your liking.

Conclusion:

Aunt Ina's Homemade Poppy Seed Salad Dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's also a great dipping sauce for chicken, fish, and vegetables.
