Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is not hugely popular, especially in the Western United States. In fact, I bet you that most people have never heard of it. The recipe came from the North East – Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It is very easy to make and extremely low budget. When you put vanilla ice cream on top, it becomes a marriage made in heaven. If you ever get really cold and can’t seem to warm up, make this dish!
