Indian Pudding

One day we made this Colonial dish, Indian Pudding, which is a cornmeal-and-milk pudding, sweetened with molasses, that reminded us a bit of pumpkin pie or some other custard pie. It's related to "hasty pudding," which I'm sure you know from the song "Yankee Doodle"! We thought it was interesting and good, especially when warm, and it probably would have been even better topped with whipped cream. It's really simple to make, too.
