CRACKER PUDDING ~ Mary cR/Tour
Here is a cheap and simple dish that taste good in the summer.
Step 1
1 qt whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted saltines crushed or cracker crumbs
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 salt
Step 2
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
Step 3
2 egg whites
4 tblsp sugar
Mix the first five ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to 150
or
scald.
Then take a cup of the hot mixture and gradually temper
the egg
yolks and then slowly pour the mixture back in the sauce and
cook on
medium high heat until thick. Now here you can remove and cool
then
refrigerate and eat the pudding or you can pour the mixture in a
baking
dish and make a meringue out of the egg white and 4 tblsp of
sugar and
cover the pudding and bake at about 350 for 15 minutes or until
the
meringue is golden brown.
I know you are going to think making pudding out of crackers is
a little
bit odd but we Pennsylvania Dutch know Good Eats as Alton Brown
would
say and trust me, Es ist Vonderfull Gute (It is wonderful good)
