Indian Pudding Recipe

1 quart milk
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 egg

Place the milk in a double boiler and when it is scalding hot add the meal, moistened with cold water and stir constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for twenty minutes. Turn into a pudding dish and add all other ingredients except the egg. Stir well and when the mass has cooked somewhat stir in the beaten egg. Bake for one hour in a rather slow oven and serve hot with hard sauce or any desired sauce. One-half cup dates or figs may be used instead of the raisins.
