Ingredients
2 cup popped corn
3 cup milk
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
Serves 4 to 6
Grind all but a small handful of the popped corn in a food processor
or grinder. Scald the milk, pour it over the corn, stir in the
butter, and let the popcorn sit, covered, for 1 hour to absorb the
liquid.
Beat eggs with the sugar until light, add vanilla and salt, beat in
the corn mixture, and turn into a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the
reserved popcorn on top. Bake at 300 F until custard is set and
browned on top, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Sprinkle the reserved whole
popcorn on top.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich people of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an explosion in publications on food, most of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Popcorn Pudding recipe.
