Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c cornmeal
1 can(s) condensed milk plus 3 cans water
1 stick butter

  • 1. Add condensed milk and three cans water to large saucepan.
  • 2. Add one stick butter (I cut butter into pieces) and pinch of salt.
  • 3. Stir all ingredients and cook on low, stirring frequently.
  • 4. As pudding thickens, add raisins and stir into pudding.
  • 5. When pudding becomes a tad thicker, spoon into serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate. Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal adds a more robust flavor and texture to the pudding.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately: Mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately helps ensure that the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Use Full-Fat Milk: Full-fat milk provides a richer flavor and creamier texture to the pudding.
  • Bake in a Water Bath: Baking the pudding in a water bath helps prevent the top from browning too quickly and ensures the pudding cooks evenly.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chilling the pudding before serving allows it to set and develop a firmer texture.
