Indian Pudding
A New England classic, Indian pudding has been around since an absence of wheat forced the pilgrims to use “Indian meal,” or cornmeal, in their puddings.
Ingredients
| 2 cups milk | 1 teaspoon cinnamon |
| 3/4 cup molasses | 1/2 teaspoon ginger |
| 1 1/4 cups sugar | 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |

| 2 cups organic whole milk french vanilla yogurt | 1/2 teaspoon salt |
| 2 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing baking dish) |
Directions
