Grape Nut Pudding

Description: This was my mother-in-law's recipe. It is very good. That is all I can say. If you like Grape Nut Pudding, I think you'll like this. I always double the original recipe, so the ingredients below are for the double one, but if you want a smaller one, you can cut it in half.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup post grape-nut cereal
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 cups milk
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 4 eggs (beaten)
• 1 1/2-2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

1. Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
2. Soak Grape-nuts in hot water for a short while.
3. Put into the casserole.
4. Add the butter, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well.
5. Bake in a pan of water in a 350°F oven for 30-45 minutes, maybe more, depending on your oven.
6. Before taking out, check to see if it is firm in the middle.
